Insurance Law Podcast Discusses Automobile Insurance Policy Rescindment in New Jersey

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- A.M. Best has released the latest installment of its Insurance Law Podcast, a series that examines timely insurance issues from an attorney’s point of view.

This episode features attorneys Gina Stanziale and Allison Koenke from the law firm of Methfessel & Werbel in Edison, NJ. The firm also has offices in New York, NY and Philadelphia, PA. Ms. Stanziale has handled both automobile and premises liability cases and was recently promoted to co-attorney manager of the firm’s property team. Ms. Koenke specializes in the defense of liability and personal injury protection (PIP) cases, including cases on PIP coverage and fraud issues. The podcast addresses rescinding an automobile insurance policy in New Jersey.

Ms. Stanziale presents the circumstances under which an insurance carrier can rescind a policy in New Jersey, and what the obligations of the carrier are to the insured when that happens. Ms. Koenke describes the effects of a rescinded policy, and what the obligations of the carrier are to eventual, innocent third parties. Ms. Stanziale explains what a carrier’s options are when seeking to rescind a policy, and whether the carrier can seek reimbursement of payments issued in relation to claims made beforehand. Ms. Koenke clarifies the difference between rescinding a policy and denying a claim, and details what investigatory tools are available to an insurance carrier when seeking to rescind a policy.

Methfessel & Werbel is listed in Best’s Directories of Recommended Insurance Attorneys and Adjusters, the most authoritative and detailed reference for locating qualified legal counsel, independent insurance adjusting services and expert service providers since 1928.
