Insurance Coverage News- Our recent article concerning an insured's alleged failure to provide timely notice to its carrier highlighted the pro-insurance bias of current New York law, which often artificially protects insurance companies.

However, it is equally important to recognize that insurance companies also have a burden to provide timely written notice of an intended disclaimer “as soon as reasonably possible”, whether or not the insured has provided notice to its carrier in a timely fashion. Interestingly, if an insurance company fails to timely notify an insured that it is not providing coverage because of “late notice” by the insured, the insured's late notice is excused .

A recent article in our “Protecting Your Insurance Protection” series, Carriers Must Act Timely to Disclaim Coverage , published in the October 2007 issue of Professional Insurance Agents Magazine , discusses this issue in detail.
