  • Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Board No
    COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF BOARD NO. 000524-96 INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS Adelard Fontaine Employee Evergreen Construction Co. Employer Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund Insurer Eastern Casualty Insurance Co. Insurer REVIEWING BOARD DECISION (Judges Wilson, McCarthy and Smith) APPEARANCES Warren Tolman, Esq., for the employee Paul R. Ingraham, Esq., for the Worker’s Compensation Trust Fund Peter M. Bancroft, Esq., for Eastern Casualty Insurance Co. Tracey E. Palmer, Esq., for the employer WILSON, J. The Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge found it liable for the payment of compensation benefits to an employee who was injured while working for an uninsured employer. The Trust Fund contends that the decision is contrary to law. It argues 1) that Eastern Casualty Insurance Co., which was on the risk prior to the injury, failed to properly “terminate” the policy in accordance with the provisions of G.L. c. 152, § 65B, and 2) that Eastern Casualty is estopped from denying coverage because it accepted the employer’s premium payment. Because the judge’s subsidiary findings of fact sufficiently support his conclusion that Eastern Casualty properly did not renew its policy of insurance with the employer for non-payment of the renewal premium, and adequately notified the employer of such action, we affirm the decision. The employee suffered an industrial injury on February 20, 1996. Upon being informed by the Department of Industrial Accidents that the employer was not insured for Adelard Fontaine Board No. 000524-96 workers’ compensation claims on the date of injury, the employee instituted a claim against the Trust Fund for payment of compensation benefits.

LexisNexis· Preface There have been a number of important developments in liability insurance, property insurance, and life and health insurance that have significantly impacted insurance law. Accordingly, our Fourth Edition of Principles of Insurance Law has been substantially revised and updated in order to offer the insurance law student and practitioner a broad perspective of both traditional insurance law concepts and cutting-edge legal issues affecting contemporary insurance law theory and practice. We have retained .the organization substantially begun in the Third Edition, with fifteen chapters, a division that enables an expanded scope of topical coverage and also segments the law of insurance in a manner more amenable to study, as well as facilitating recombination and reordering of the chapters as desired by individual instructors.

  • Insurance Law Page 1 of 2
    Insurance Law Page 1 of 2 Insurance Law involves the regulation of all types of insurance of risk: property, automobile, personal and professional liability, life, health, long-term care, and disability, among others. Most areas of the insurance industry are regulated, so insurance law attorneys should be comfortable with administrative law. Each type of insurance is also covered by regulations specific to its subject area. Health, long-term care, and disability insurance involve health care law. Insurance law attorneys should be experts in contract law and have experience with contract drafting. Corporate law knowledge and transactional skills are useful for insurance law attorneys. A background in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, is important. Insurance contracts often use ADR clauses as a way to reduce transaction costs and increase efficiency. And since some types of insurance, such as life, health, and disability insurance, are offered as benefits through employers, employee benefits law is also relevant. For more information about insurance law, see the Legal Information Institute’s Wex encyclopedia “Insurance” page, the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section, and the International Risk Management Institute.
