Lathrop & Gage attorneys Brian Myers and Jennifer McAdam are featured authors in the Summer edition of the esteemed guide New Appleman on Insurance – Current Critical Issues in Insurance Law. Their article, “Recent Developments in Insurance Law on Notice: The Continuing Trend Toward Requiring Prejudice,” explores the current application of the notice-prejudice rule throughout the country. Special analysis is devoted to New York’s 2008 late-notice legislation, as well as the evidentiary rules that have evolved in late-notice cases from other jurisidctions. New Appleman on Insurance is published by LexisNexis Matthew Bender and offers comprehensive and rigorous analysis from top practitioners nationwide from the field of insurance law.

“When an insured fails to notify its insurer in a timely manner, the insurer may assert a coverage defense of late notice,” the authors write in their article. “Because courts and legislatures around the country have adopted varying approaches to the late notice defense, it is imperative for coverage counsel and other claim professionals to know the applicable law when addressing this issue.”
