         4. No insurer may, except where there is a time limit specified in the insurance contract or policy, require a claimant to give written notice of loss or proof of loss within a specified time or seek to relieve the insurer of the obligations if the requirement is not complied with, unless the failure to comply prejudices the insurer’s rights.
