In the morning, Shareholder Jim Wright presented on the current state of the law on material misrepresentations made in connection with policy applications as the importance of pre-suit investigations.
Associates Brian King and Adam Post separately discussed Criminal Trends in Property Protection Insurance Claims.
After break-out sessions in the afternoon, Shareholder Jeremy Mullett and Associate Elizabeta Rumery offered a presentation entitled “The Intersection of No-Fault Claims and Welfare Benefits,” which discussed how the information in welfare documents contains invaluable information that can be useful when investigating a claim pre-suit.
Finally, Tim Holland, Kristina Macionski and Joshua Christopher presented on various sections of the new No-Fault Act, including changes to priority rules and policy language, IME Rules, and the one-year-back rule.
