About the Session
Insurers expect policyholders to provide truthful information, as failure to do so can lead to policies being voided or rescinded. However, simply proving a false answer or non-disclosure does not automatically result in rescission; policyholders often challenge the materiality of false answers and question whether insurers acted appropriately upon discovering discrepancies. This engaging roundtable session will highlight recent legal developments while offering best practices for handling these complex situations. Attendees will engage with hypothetical scenarios to discuss when and how policies may be voided, ensuring they stay informed about how courts interpret false answers and the implications for coverage and defense obligations. This session is essential for claims professionals who need to understand the nuances of underwriting files and their relevance in coverage litigation and policy enforcement efforts.
