Writing an Effective Coverage Letter under New York Law
Hurwitz Fine's Dan Kohane is presenting the virtual Lunch and Learn program Writing an Effective Coverage Letter under New York Law on Friday December 13th.
Attention claims professionals and lawyers who are writing New York coverage letters. Answer each question “yes” or “no”:
- Ready to send out a reservation of rights letter?
- About to let your insured – only – know of a coverage defense?
- Thinking of not mailing out that denial letter to the claimant because in some jurisdictions it would be bad faith if you did so?
- In receipt of a claim letter, but thinking of awaiting the lawsuit before you take a coverage position?
- You’re an excess carrier and you don’t think the claim will reach your layer, so you decide not to send out a coverage letter?
- Reserving your rights on late notice?
- Your insured refuses to answer your phone calls or emails and you’re frustrated enough to deny coverage based on lack of cooperation?
If you answered YES to any of these seven questions, you may need good coverage counsel in the days, weeks, and months to come. While we can help you with that, we would rather teach you the right way to craft and send an appropriate and effective coverage letter.
