Mahler V. Szucs: An Impediment To Interinsurer Arbitration And Affordable Personal Injury Protection Coverage, John R. Nicholson Jan 1999

Mahler V. Szucs: An Impediment To Interinsurer Arbitration And Affordable Personal Injury Protection Coverage, John R. Nicholson

Seattle University Law Review

This Note will demonstrate that the Mahler court's decision will lead to inefficient results, because it has essentially compelled PIP insurers to accept representation by attorneys who have a conflict of interests, precluding such insurers from selecting the best means of recovering their PIP interests. As a result, the price of insurance premiums inevitably will escalate, while providing plaintiffs' attorneys with a windfall of increased fees for performing no additional work for their clients. The following discussion will show not only that the Mahler court holding is inefficient as a matter of public policy, but also that its analysis ignores …

Insuring Employer Liability For Hostile Work Environment Claims: How Changes In Discrimination Law May Affect The Growing Market For Employment-Related Practices Liability Insurance, Francis J. Mootz Iii Jan 1999

Insuring Employer Liability For Hostile Work Environment Claims: How Changes In Discrimination Law May Affect The Growing Market For Employment-Related Practices Liability Insurance, Francis J. Mootz Iii

Scholarly Works

Assessing the role that Employment Practices Liability Insurance might play in the future requires an understanding of two murky areas of law: employment law and insurance coverage law. In Part I of the Article I discuss the evolution of employer liability for hostile work environment sexual harassment. In Part II of the Article I analyze the consequences for insurance coverage that follow from recognizing that liability for hostile work environment sexual harassment is grounded on negligence principles.


Foreward: Employment Practies Liability Insurance And The Changing American Workplace, Francis J. Mootz Iii Jan 1999

Foreward: Employment Practies Liability Insurance And The Changing American Workplace, Francis J. Mootz Iii

Scholarly Works

In the past fifteen years there has been substantial insurance coverage litigation as employers have attempted to secure coverage under their liability insurance program for employment-related practices liabilities. In recognition of this significant development of a body of law, and growing out of an American Bar Association Annual Meeting panel discussion in which I participated, the Western New England Law Review published a Symposium in 1996 entitled, Insurance Coverage of Employment Disputes. Employers continue to seek insurance coverage for these liabilities under their traditional liability insurance policies, but the situation has dramatically changed in the past several years. On the …


Domtar Baby: Misplaced Notions Of Equitable Apportionment Create A Thicket Of Potential Unfairness For Insurance Policyholders, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1999

Domtar Baby: Misplaced Notions Of Equitable Apportionment Create A Thicket Of Potential Unfairness For Insurance Policyholders, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

Minnesota has an enduring reputation as a progressive, even liberal state hospitable to the underdog and concerned for fairness. This is hardly a surprise for the home state of prominent liberal politicians such as Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, Eugene McCarthy and Paul Wellstone. The perception of Minnesota liberalism, populism, or pro-plaintiff sympathies extends to the technical legal realm as well. Lawyers know about prominent Minnesota cases favoring claimants. Many are reprinted in casebooks or otherwise disproportionately well-known. Most recently, Minnesota was again in the news as the state unwilling to join in a proposed national settlement of claims against the …


Judge-Made Insurance That Was Not On The Menu: Schmidt V. Smith And The Confluence Of Text, Expectation, And Public Policy In The Realm Of Employment Practices Liability, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1999

Judge-Made Insurance That Was Not On The Menu: Schmidt V. Smith And The Confluence Of Text, Expectation, And Public Policy In The Realm Of Employment Practices Liability, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

In Schmidt v. Smith, the New Jersey Supreme Court caught more than a few observers by surprise. New Jersey courts have generally issued opinions regarded as pro-claimant and pro-policyholders. But everyone's taste for recompense and coverage has limits. In Schmidt, the court exceeded those limits for many observers by holding that despite what it regarded as clear contract language in an exclusion, an insurer providing Employers’ Liability (“EL”) coverage along with Workers' Compensation (“WC”) insurance for the employer was required to provide coverage in a case of blatant sexual harassment bordering on criminal assault. In doing so, the Schmidt court, …

Massachusetts' Domestic Partnership Challenge: Hope For A Better Future, Jennifer Levi Jan 1999

Massachusetts' Domestic Partnership Challenge: Hope For A Better Future, Jennifer Levi

Faculty Scholarship

Acknowledging that its decision means that "some household members" may be without a "critical social necessity," the Massachusetts Supreme Iudicial Court (SJC) ruled in Connors v. City of Boston that Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino's executive order granting health insurance benefits to the domestic partners of city employees could not stand in the face of a Massachusetts state insurance law. In Connors, the SJC simultaneously recognized that although the demographics of Massachusetts households have changed within the more than forty years since the state insurance law, G.L. c. 32B (Chapter 32B), was adopted, that law nevertheless constrains municipalities from extending …

Tax Consequences Of Assigning Life Insurance - Time For Another Look, Douglas A. Kahn, Lawrence W. Waggoner Jan 1999

Tax Consequences Of Assigning Life Insurance - Time For Another Look, Douglas A. Kahn, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 furnishes the courts and the Internal Revenue Service an opportunity to close certain loopholes in the federal tax consequences of assigning life insurance. About twenty years ago, we published an article arguing that the tax consequences of assigning life insurance affords taxpayers unwarranted opportunities for tax avoidance. Since then, developments in the case law and Internal Revenue Service rulings have broadened the loopholes. In the update of our article, we show how the new tax law supports our original position.

Regulating Risk In A Managed Care Environment: Theory Vs. Practice, The Minnesota Experience, Barbara Colombo, Robert P. Webber Jan 1999

Regulating Risk In A Managed Care Environment: Theory Vs. Practice, The Minnesota Experience, Barbara Colombo, Robert P. Webber

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this Article is to illustrate the challenges state regulators face when attempting to translate theory into practice in the context of health care risk regulation. Section I reviews the evolution of the risk-bearing market in health care, recognizing that while risk is an inherent part of everyday life, it takes on a delicate meaning when used in the context of health care. Cost and demographic data will be discussed to provide a compelling rationale for the ongoing forceful movement toward cost containment strategies embodied in managed care strategies, as well as the need to develop the next …


Gender Discrimination Within The Reproductive Health Care System: Viagra V. Birth Control, Lisa A. Hayden Jan 1999

Gender Discrimination Within The Reproductive Health Care System: Viagra V. Birth Control, Lisa A. Hayden

Journal of Law and Health

This Article begins with an examination of the prescription drug, Viagra and the medical condition it is intended to aid. Additionally, this Article evaluates the five most common, and FDA approved forms of contraceptives: contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices (IUD's), Depo-Provera shots, Norplant inserts and diaphragms. A basic understanding of the above prescriptions is necessary to determine if health care inequity exists between men and women in the area of prescriptive coverage, or if there is such a difference between the medical conditions involved that insurance companies are justified in excluding contraceptive coverage while including Viagra coverage. Part III of this …


Invalidating Auto Insurance Provisions In Montana, Greg Munro Jan 1999

Invalidating Auto Insurance Provisions In Montana, Greg Munro

Faculty Journal Articles & Other Writings

This article reviews cases in which the Montana Supreme Court has invalidated or limited provisions of the standard auto policies. The article discusses three grounds when the Court generally has invalidated auto insurance provisions: 1) on ground of public policy per the Mandatory Liability Protection Act; 2) on ground of public policy per the Uninsured Motorist statute; and 3) on ground of defeating insurance consumer's reasonable expectations. The article concludes that the list of auto insurance policy provisions invalidated by the Montana Supreme Court is extensive, confirming the Court's commitment to test insurance provisions to ensure they comport with public …
