New York Court of Appeals
Maxine Mallory, as of the Estate of Matthew Mallory v. Allstate Insurance Company
August 28, 201219 N.Y.3d 978
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, granting costs and answering the certified question affirmatively. It held that an insurer’s failure to comply with 11 NYCRR 216.6(c) in processing a claim does not bar the insurer from invoking a policy exclusion to deny coverage.
