Levy introduced me to is contractual law. Mr. Levy allowed me to assist on insurance cases, which included observing meetings, summarizing depositions, and reviewing contracts. Even though I had experience reviewing contracts while working a couple of summers for a General Counsel at a large business, this was completely different because these agreements were among insurance companies and individuals, instead of insurance companies and businesses. Mr. Levy works on behalf of insurance companies, mostly State Farm, when they have disputes with their clients over wind and hail coverage. These cases are interesting because Mr. Levy has to not only deal with the individuals that are claiming the insurance company didn’t follow the contract, but he also must deal with the adjuster in each case. Mr. Levy gave me the responsibility of summarizing the depositions of the adjusters to confirm that none of them said anything that was contradictory or detrimental to State Farm’s case. Often these cases end with settlements or dismissals because either the insurance company decides to compensate the individuals or the attorney representing the insurance company gets a favorable summary judgment. Mr. Levy and other attorneys representing insurance companies frequently seek summary judgments when the plaintiffs don’t have significant evidence to prove that the insurance companies violated the contract. In most of the insurance cases that I assisted Mr. Levy on he was able to receive summary judgment because the plaintiffs didn’t have enough evidence to prove that State Farm was responsible for paying the

A.B 458 was presented by Jason Mills, representing the Nevada Justice Association. The purpose of this bill is to provide additional protections to injured individuals receiving workers compensation. For example, section 3 of the bill states that an individual is entitled to an independent medical examination for a workers compensation claim “that is open or when the closure of a claim is under dispute”. Additionally, Mills stated that section 3 of the bill would provide a second opinion to the injured employee in the form of an independent medical examination on a workers compensation case. Mills added that after speaking with insurers and the industry, he is willing to agree on an amendment in subsection 6 of section 3 of the bill. Since the insurer will have to pay for costs associated with an independent medical examination, Mills agreed with the insurers that they should have the right to see the results of the examination report. Furthermore, the bill would require insurers to provide at least three vocational rehabilitation counselors to the “injured employee or personal or legal representative of the injured employee.” This would give these individuals choices since they currently do not have

Ms. Juanita Machado is a Line Assembly Technician. She was employed with the insured approximately for seven months.

State Farm has asked whether it has a duty to defend the insured pursuant to the insured’s homeowners policy. It is our opinion that State Farm has no duty to defend the insured under the insured’s homeowners policy. The insured’s homeowners policy entitled the insured to a defense for “a suit brought against an insured for damages because of bodily injury or property damage to which this coverage applies, caused by an occurrence.” In this case, these elements initially triggering the insured’s homeowners policy are likely satisfied. Nevertheless, the SECTON II – Exclusions section provides that the liability coverage does not apply to any of the fifteen exclusions specifically enumerated therein.

Navigators submits that it is entitled to rescind the policy because the insurance application was riddled with material misrepresentations. Dr. Wong first argues that Navigators failed to provide notice that it would seek rescission, thereby waiving its right to bring this lawsuit.

These adjusters appear to be friendly and state that they want to just get some basic information from you so that they can adjust the insurance amount as soon as possible. This is where his expertise comes in handy. Make sure you take your professional with you when meeting your insurance adjuster as he will make sure and help you when it comes to making an insurance claim.

This is a way to wear you down and if you have a really good professional at your disposal, you will not face these problems.
