Description
Civil procedure; disclosure of insurance liability limits. Allows the personal representative of the estate of a decedent who died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, or his attorney, to request the disclosure of the liability limits of an insurance policy prior to filing a civil action for wrongful death resulting from a motor vehicle accident. The party requesting this information shall provide the insurer with (i) the date of the accident, (ii) the name and last known address of the alleged tortfeasor, (iii) a copy of the accident report, if any, (iv) the claim number, if available, and (v) the decedent's medical death certificate, medical bills, if any, statutory beneficiaries' names and relationships, and, if a claim for pecuniary loss by one or more beneficiaries is anticipated, work and earnings history, if any. The bill also provides that disclosure of a policy's limits shall not constitute an admission that the alleged injury is subject to the policy. Read the Bill »
