The Disability Insurance Benefits Program And Low Income Claimants In Appalachia, James B. Haviland, Michael B. Glomb May 1971

The Disability Insurance Benefits Program And Low Income Claimants In Appalachia, James B. Haviland, Michael B. Glomb

West Virginia Law Review

This article discusses the difficulty substantial numbers of low income West Virginians encounter in establishing their eligibility for Disability Insurance Benefits under section 233 (d) of the Social Security Act. These persons are characteristically middle-aged, unskilled workers who lose their employment as the result of a mental or physical condition of a non-traumatic, chronic origin. Because of their medical condition, combined with their advancing age and lack of skills, these persons are "disabled", yet they are denied Disability Insurance Benefits. An analysis of twenty-six "difficult" claims denied on the first filing, but refiled, reveals a pattern of unjustified denials in …

Group Insurance: Agency Characterization Of The Master Policy-Holder, Stephen K. Eugster Jan 1971

Group Insurance: Agency Characterization Of The Master Policy-Holder, Stephen K. Eugster

Washington Law Review

One of the major issues in connection with group life insurance is whether the master policy holder, the person who takes out the insurance, is the agent of the insurance company. This comment describes the general characteristics of group insurance and discusses the factors courts consider in finding an agency relationship between the master policyholder and the insurance company. Arguments are presented that the most equitable results are reached when the insurer is held responsible for the acts of the master policyholder under an agency theory.

Limitless Horizons Of Limited Policies Of Insurance, Harry H. Lipsig Jan 1971

Limitless Horizons Of Limited Policies Of Insurance, Harry H. Lipsig

Cleveland State Law Review

Limited policies have limitless horizons due to the selfishness of insurers. Why should insurers accept settlement offers that are close to the policy limits? After all, in most instances the insurers have nothing to lose except the insureds' money. Gambling with insureds' funds has led many to suggest that insurers be absolutely liable for all excess judgments subsequent to a rejection of settlement.


Automotive "Crashworthiness:" An Untenable Doctrine, Stephen J. Werber Jan 1971

Automotive "Crashworthiness:" An Untenable Doctrine, Stephen J. Werber

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

It is the purpose of this article to review the decisional law of automobile crashworthiness and to place it in the context of important policy considerations which justify such judicial determinations. It will be shown that the great majority of these decisions are entirely consistent with the doctine of "strict tort liability" as enunciated in section 402A of the Restatement of Torts, Second; that the questions sought to be submitted to juries in these cases are properly the subject of highly technical and complex legislative and administrative action on both a state and federal level; and that the few decisions …


Set-Off Under Uninsured Motorist's Coverage, Leon M. Plevin Jan 1971

Set-Off Under Uninsured Motorist's Coverage, Leon M. Plevin

Cleveland State Law Review

The limits of liability under uninsured motorist coverage are fixed either by policy provisions or by statute. ... These various indemnity provisions were created so as to effectively limit any payments made by the insurance carrier under the uninsured motorist endorsement in combination with any other sources of indemnification to the maximum limit of the uninsured motorist coverage. The intent of the insurance underwriter is to limit its payment under the uninsured motorist coverage to the minimum amount where the insured is indemnified or partially indemnified from more than one source. The scope of this paper will specifically be concerned …

Pretrial Discovery Of Existence And Limits Of Automobile Liability Insurance, Larry Andrew Winter Apr 1970

Pretrial Discovery Of Existence And Limits Of Automobile Liability Insurance, Larry Andrew Winter

West Virginia Law Review

The purpose and scope of this note is to analyze the apparent irreconcilable conflict which exists in both state and federal cases with respect to the discoverability of a defendant's liability insurance policy and its limits in an action based on an automobile accident. The cases analyzed are limited to those involving automobile accidents in which the plaintiff has attempted to learn of the existence of liability insurance through one of three techniques of discovery as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or similar state procedures: (1) oral deposition, (2) written interrogatories, and (3) orders for production and …

Arbitration, Statute Of Limitations, And Uninsured Motorist Endorsements, Leona M. Hudak Jan 1970

Arbitration, Statute Of Limitations, And Uninsured Motorist Endorsements, Leona M. Hudak

Cleveland State Law Review

Except in California, uninsured motorist statutes do not provide for any specified period within which the injured must file his damages. The uninsured motorist coverage clauses in policies have likewise been silent on the subject .A controversy has arisen as to whether the (usually) shorter negligence (tort) statute of limitations or the longer contract time limit governs. The controversy can be readily resolved: either the insurers express a specific time period in their uninsured motorist endorsements within which their injured insureds must file their complaints; or state legislatures should amend their uninsured motorist coverage statutes to contain such express provision, …

Insurance Subrogation In Auto Medical Payments Coverage, Walter A. Rodgers Jan 1970

Insurance Subrogation In Auto Medical Payments Coverage, Walter A. Rodgers

Cleveland State Law Review

It is unnecessary to elaborate on the other major differences between the two policies as this study will be confined to a discussion of the provisions of the Medical Payments Coverage with an analysis of the treatment these provisions have received by various courts, and more particularly, to resolving the question of whether the subrogation of medical expenses by automobile insurers is an assignment of a bodily injury claim.

Compulsory No-Fault Medical Insurance For Automobile Owners, William L. Schlosser Jan 1970

Compulsory No-Fault Medical Insurance For Automobile Owners, William L. Schlosser

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The enactment of the Massachusetts compulsory no-fault insurance bill, and Senator Phillip Hart's recent introduction of national no-fault insurance legislation, indicate the serious consideration no-fault insurance is receiving as a method of reforming the existing auto accident compensation system. The current tort system of recovery of auto accident medical expenses is inefficient, and, in many cases, does not adequately compensate the injured parties. Compulsory no-fault insurance is well suited to remedy these deficiencies. Under a no-fault insurance plan, benefits would be paid without regard to the question of fault; consequently, every accident victim would receive compensation without first having to …


Financial Statement Insurance: A New Approach To Ivestor Protection, Stephen Z. Surridge Apr 1969

Financial Statement Insurance: A New Approach To Ivestor Protection, Stephen Z. Surridge

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The accounting profession rapidly is moving toward a crisis in liability. Members of the investing public are suing accountants with mounting frequency and success. This article will analyze briefly the origin and present dimensions of the crisis, and then propose a plan for replacing court-imposed liability with insured liability through the offering of financial statement insurance. The essentials of the plan can be simply stated. Insurance would be offered by accountants to investors on a voluntary basis in conjunction with purchases and sales of corporate stock and securities. Individual investors would be able to purchase from the auditors of a …


A Proposed Cure For The Intervention Blues, Lawrence E. Hard Apr 1969

A Proposed Cure For The Intervention Blues, Lawrence E. Hard

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article does not purport to provide a study of the doctrine of subrogation and the merits of that doctrine in the context of insurance coverage. There are several difficult questions which could be raised as to the proper role of subrogation in insurance litigation. This article assumes the propriety of extending the right of subrogation to the type of medical and hospital payment plans offered by the Services and analyses the device of intervention as a method of enforcing the Services' right to contractual subrogation.
