Misrepresentation in the Life, Health, and Disability Insurance Application Process: A National Survey
Insurers have a right to require that those applying for insurance will truthfully answer all questions contained in their application, and they rely on the statements made by an insurance applicant. But what happens when an application for life, health, or disability insurance contains misrepresentations or intentional concealments?
This comprehensive publication provides practitioners in the area of life, health, and disability insurance with a national survey of each of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the federal circuits regarding misrepresentations in applications as well as the applicable case law interpreting relevant statutes and developing the common law regarding misrepresentations. In addition, the publication will address the evolving issues related to misrepresentations in the context of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA").
