I’m Late, I’m Late, for a Very Important Date… But Does It Matter? Notice and Prejudice in Occurrence and Claims-Made Insurance Policies

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

A Litigation Series CLE TeleConference

This audio program will focus on common issues that arise from the requirement in insurance policies that notice be given to the insurance company of an occurrence or claim that may trigger an insurer’s duty to provide coverage. This teleconference and audio webcast will cover the fundamentals of notice requirements for young lawyers and also will explore more complex issues tailored to experienced practitioners, including notice to multiple insurers, notice of circumstances, and notice specificity requirements.

You’ll follow the exploits of Alice in Noticeland as she navigates her insurance claims in different jurisdictions. What, if any, kind of prejudice will Alice’s insurance company have to show to defeat her claims? How will diligence and knowledge factor into the equation? The program will address all of your questions about notice, prejudice, and strategies for insurers and policyholders.
