New Late-Notice Rule Shifts Burden to Insurer

Starting in mid-January 2009, New York will abandon its rule allowing a personal injury or wrongful death insurer to disclaim coverage due to a late notice of claim regardless of whether or not the insurer suffered harm by the delay.

In his Construction Accident Litigation column, Brian J. Shoot, a partner with Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo, addresses two current controversies regarding application of Labor Law §240: One concerns the extent to which the element of foreseeability is relevant in assessing liability under Labor Law §240; the second concerns a largely unnoticed trend in which courts have penalized the plaintiff-worker for the transgressions of his or her employer in overstepping the bounds, temporal or geographic, in which the employer was authorized to work.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Ramos told lawyers for six law firms that were awarded $625 million for their work in the state's 1998 tobacco settlement that he will examine whether the fee award is unethical.
