Life, Health and Disability Insurance Law Blog : Life, Health and Disability Insurance Law Blog : California Disability Lawyer & Attorney : Barger & Wolen Law Firm : CA Life Insurance & ERISA Law, Life Health Disability

by John M. LeBlanc and Jason C. Love

While this blog is dedicated to Life, Health and Disability Insurance, including ERISA matters, a recent Court of Appeal liability insurance decision concerning waiver, estoppel and Health & Safety Code § 1389.3 – Colony Insurance Co. v. Crusader Insurance Co. – should apply with equal force to life, health and disability insurers.

Colony Insurance Company sought a declaration that Crusader Insurance Company improperly refused to defend a tenant lawsuit and share the costs incurred in defending the tenant litigation. Among the many issues argued was Colony’s contention that Crusader engaged in post-claims underwriting in violation of Health & Safety Code § 1389.3, relying on Hailey v. California Physicians’ Service, a case tried and won by Barger & Wolen partner John LeBlanc, as discussed here.

Mr. LeBlanc and Jason Love have taken the time to analyze the issue in Colony.
