When an elderly or incapacitated account holder is defrauded via forged checks over an extended hospitalization, banks can deny the resulting fraud claim by citing a 30-day statement-review window that the victim's family had no realistic way to meet. This structural rule shifts liability for extended-pattern forgery onto vulnerable account holders rather than the bank, even after a police report and formal dispute are filed.
