2. “[p]laintiff had an outside time limit of six months, or until 2 January 1985, to file an action against the decedent’s estate. Since plaintiff did not initiate this action until 13 June 1986, he is clearly barred from recovering anything from the decedent’s estate, except “to the extent that the decedent... is protected by insurance coverage with respect to such claim . ...” N.C. Gen. Stat. § 28A-19-3(i) (1984). The decedent in this case had an automobile liability insurance policy with Nationwide with policy limits of $25,000 for bodily injury. Plaintiff may recover only up to this amount if he prevails in his negligence action against decedent’s personal representative or collector.”
