Case Summary |
|
3171 Denial of liability by an insurer starts the statute of limitations running and does not estop the carrier from asserting it as a defense in an action by the insured, but an insurer's statement that the insured's damage does not exceed the deductible is a misrepresentation of fact, rather than a mere denial of liability, and may result in estoppel.CitationVU v PRUDENTIAL (Earthquake Estoppel) 26 C4 1141 [See: InsC 2071; Neff v NY Life 30 C2 165; Vu v Prudential 172 F3 725] |
