of claim.

A. An insurer shall furnish, upon written request of any

insured claiming to have a loss under an insurance contract issued

by such insurer, forms of proof of loss for completion by such

person, but such insurer shall not, by reason of the requirement so

to furnish forms, have any responsibility for or with reference to

the completion of such proof or the manner of any such completion or

attempted completion.

B. It shall be the duty of the insurer, receiving a proof of

loss, to submit a written offer of settlement or rejection of the

claim to the insured within sixty (60) days of receipt of that proof

of loss. Upon a judgment rendered to either party, costs and

attorney fees shall be allowable to the prevailing party. For

purposes of this section, the prevailing party is the insurer in

those cases where judgment does not exceed written offer of

settlement. In all other judgments the insured shall be the

prevailing party. If the insured is the prevailing party, the court

in rendering judgment shall add interest on the verdict at the rate

of fifteen percent (15%) per year from the date the loss was payable

pursuant to the provisions of the contract to the date of the

verdict. This provision shall not apply to uninsured motorist

coverage.
