Burlington Insurance Company was sued by Juvenex Ltd. in order to compel the former to defend and indemnify the latter in a personal injury case.
Because Juvenex waited over two months to advise the insurer of the claim, the New York County Supreme Court found Burlington wasn't required to intervene on its insured behalf.
Since it saw the notification delay as "unreasonable," the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed that outcome on appeal.
Did Burlington pull the wool over the AD1's eyes?
