Join John Ewell and MaKenna Stoakes for a practical discussion on drafting effective reservation of rights and denial letters that preserve coverage defenses, minimize bad faith exposure, avoid waiver and estoppel, and withstand scrutiny in coverage litigation.
Even strong coverage positions can be undermined by delayed action, incomplete analysis, or poorly drafted correspondence. This webinar will examine the key differences between New York and New Jersey law and provide practical guidance for evaluating coverage issues, preserving defenses, and navigating the unique disclaimer and reservation-of-rights requirements in both jurisdictions.
Topics will include:
-
When to reserve rights, when to deny coverage, and when additional investigation is needed
-
Common coverage letter mistakes that create waiver, estoppel, and bad faith risk
-
New York disclaimer requirements under Insurance Law § 3420, timing, notice, and late notice issues
-
New Jersey reservation-of-rights requirements, estoppel risks, and the consequences of delayed action
-
Best practices for drafting coverage letters that preserve defenses and withstand litigation scrutiny
