   The focus of this controversy is the insurance question of limitation of action.

   The limitation is due not to continue after the legal period right to state the facts, aging is right according to law are not protected by the law. According to the "general rules of the civil law" provisions of article 135th, the limitation of action is a legal system for the obligee does not exercise the right to request the people's court for protection of civil rights according to law within the statutory period, that is to say, the right people do not exercise the right to the expiration of the limitation period loss of legal fact to protect their rights in litigation. Insurance claims must be filed, exceed the limitation in the time of validity of a claim, the insured or the beneficiary does not claim, does not provide the necessary documents and not get insurance gold to the insurer, shall be deemed to waive its rights. Time of validity of a claim from the insured or the beneficiary shall know the date of insurance accident happened.

   "Insurance law" (revised in 2002) the provisions of article twenty-sixth, insurance other than life insurance of the insured or the beneficiary, claim for compensation or payment of the insurance benefits to the insured the right to know, since the accident insurance of two years from the date of exercise and to destroy the internal. Accordingly, the insured indemnity or payment of the insurance benefits is right, since that accident insurance date. The "general rules of the civil law" for the system of limitation of the provisions are too general, therefore, since 1995, "insurance law" on the insurance claim the limitation of special post, 2002 revised "insurance law" the insurance claim limitation to "the limitation of action". The 2009 revised "insurance law" to "know or should know the insurance accident happened," as the starting point for the calculation. Compared with the old "insurance law" provisions of the law, increase the "should know the date of the insurance accident". Know "is not a pure subjective presumption should be called", but should have objective facts show, or according to the general law presumption of the insured or the beneficiary know insurance accident has happened. The general principles of the civil law "and" specified in the limitation "since the party knows or should know that his rights have been infringed". Based on these provisions of the understanding, the insured or the beneficiary to claim compensation from the insurance company, as the party can request right was infringed for its insurance, the limitation of action to date. Provisions of the "insurance law" and there is a difference between.
