Late Disclaimer on a Valid Ground Not Excused

The First Department determined the failure to timely disclaim coverage on a valid ground was ineffective. The fact that other grounds for disclaimer might have been investigated does not excuse the late disclaimer: …”Insurance Law § 3420(d) ‘precludes an insurer from delaying issuance of a disclaimer on a ground that the insurer knows to be valid . . . while investigating other possible grounds for disclaiming'”… . Endurance Am. Specialty Ins. Co. v Utica First Ins. Co., 2015 NY Slip Op 07329, 1st Dept 10-8-15
