ANTHONY O. CALABRESE, JR., J.:
 
    This cause came to be heard upon the accelerated calender
 
pursuant to App.R. 11.1 and Loc..R. 11.1, the trial court records
 
and briefs of counsel.
 
    It is well settled that the law to be applied when an accident
 
occurs depends on the law in effect at the beginning of the most
 
recent two-year interval. Wolfe v. Wolfe, 88 Ohio St.3d 246, 2000-
 
Ohio-322. On September 20, 2000, R.C. 3937.18 was amended to limit
 
recovery under an insurance policy 's UM/UIM motorist coverage to
 
circumstances in which an insured suffers bodily injury or death.1
 
In the case sub judice, the most recent two-year interval for the
 
policy issued by defendant-appellee Grange Mutual Casualty Company
 
began on January 10, 2001. The accident occurred on December 3,
 
2001.
 
    Therefore, the law in effect at the time of the accident
 
prohibits appellant's recovery, as she did not suffer bodily
 
injury. The issues of timely payment, cancellation, and notice are
 
extraneous. The trial court did not err in granting summary
 
judgment in favor of appellee. Appellant's assignments of error
 
are overruled.
 
    Judgment affirmed.
 
 
 
 
    1R.C. 3937.18 was amended by S.B. No. 267.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                -3-
 
     It is ordered that appellee recover of appellant its costs
 
herein taxed.
 
     The court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal.
 
     It is ordered that a special mandate issue out of this court
 
directing the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas to carry this
 
judgment into execution.
 
     A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate
 
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
 
 
                              ______________________________
                                  ANTHONY O. CALABRESE, JR.
                                            JUDGE

KENNETH A. ROCCO, J.,   CONCUR.
