By Andrew Simpson| Insurance Journal Verified An insurer erred in denying workers’ compensation benefits to a utility worker who contracted COVID-19 while on the job, a job the state had deemed as “essential” during the pandemic. The insurer had denied the claim on the basis that the risk of contracting COVID-19 was not inherent in the nature of Jeff Stacy’s employment as a lineman for the electric utility Unitil Corp. But the insurer failed to reasonably consider how the pandemic changed the working conditions for the lineman.
By Andrew Simpson| Insurance Journal Verified A Connecticut agent for Allstate Insurance may be sued by an insured who faults the agent for not renewing a flood insurance policy in a timely fashion, thereby depriving the insured of the benefit of lower “grandfathered” flood insurance coverage. The federal court for the district of Connecticut has allowed the lawsuit against the Allstate insurance agent Jason Garoppolo to proceed on charges of negligence, professional malpractice, and breach of contract.
