State Initiatives May Fall Short for Sandy Flood Victims
Friday, April 26, 2013
Since Superstorm Sandy, many state and local government initiatives have been proposed to help property and business owners recover under their insurance policies. Unfortunately, none of these programs help with claims under flood policies, because they are governed by federal law: written under the National Flood Insurance Program, and administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Sandy Claims May Have Lawyers Consulting N.J. Bad-Faith Law
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
N.J. property insurers have been inundated with claims since the onslaught of Superstorm Sandy. Disagreement over entitlement to policy benefits will inevitably follow, and the term "bad faith" will doubtless be hurled. Attorneys representing both insureds and insurance carriers are well advised at this time to review what N.J. law provides regarding insurance bad-faith actions.
Clark v. The Prudential Ins. Co. of America
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
In this action alleging deception and bad faith, plaintiffs' motion for class certification is denied due to lack of commonality and predominance; Prudential's motion for summary judgment is granted as to two plaintiffs on statute-of-limitations grounds.
