Heading: the claim against quarles agency

Text: Kootenai County brought action against Quarles for breach of its duty of care as an insurance agent. Judge Prather determined that even if Quarles were negligent, the two-year statute of limitations for professional malpractice (I.C. § 5-219) began to run with the allegedly negligent act of Mr. Quarles ... notifying Miller & Morris, Inc. instead of Superior Underwriters back in July, 1976 and, thus, the County's claim was time barred. Given the determination of this Court with regard to Quarles Agency's relationship to Foremost and Western, it is unnecessary for us to delve further into the issue of Quarles' professional malpractice, since we have ruled that, as between the plaintiffs and defendants in this action, Quarles properly gave notice to all insurers.
