Wade Clark Mulcahy LLP

In Consumer First Insurance v. Lee, the plaintiff appealed a dismissal of its declaratory judgment action against its insured. The Superior Court Appellate Division reversed and remanded, concluding that the insured made a material misrepresentation on his automobile insurance application regarding his lifelong epilepsy. As a result, plaintiff was required to extend only minimum mandatory statutory amounts of coverage to all claimants.
