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.
