Listen "Second Circuit 'Swipes Right' on Notice Requirement for Tinder"

Episode Synopsis

Today on Don't Take No For An Answer, Lynda A. Bennett and Alexander B. Corson discuss a recent Second Circuit decision that reinforces the importance of reading claims-made policies carefully.  The case involves Tinder, the online dating service provider, which received notice of a lawsuit on Wednesday but did not provide notice to their insurer until Monday.  The insurer denied coverage on the basis that the insurance policy had expired on Saturday at 12:01 AM! Their discussion focuses on such issues as what constitutes a "claim" triggering notice requirements in claims-made policies, the scope of a 60-day grace period applicable to such notice requirements, how policy audits may help companies avoid similar situations, and why it is critical for business to provide notice to their insurers early, often, and immediately upon learning of a potential liability.  Speakers: Lynda A. Bennett, Partner and Chair, Insurance RecoveryAlexander B. Corson, Associate, Insurance Recovery
