Hall, Presiding Judge,
dissenting. The cases cited in Division 2 of the majority opinion are inapposite for the simple reason that *813in each of these cases the insurer either negotiated with the insured until the statute of limitation had expired or promised to settle and pay the loss until the statute of limitation had expired. In the present case, the plaintiff filed suit before the two-year statute of limitation had expired.
In my opinion the trial court erred in denying defendant’s motion for summary judgment. King v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 117 Ga. App. 192 (160 SE2d 230); Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Caudle, 122 Ga. 608 (50 SE 337).
