John Diaconis to Present on Insurance Mediation at April NYSBA Meeting
Partner John Diaconis, a member of Bleakley Platt’s Insurance Law Practice Group, will be featured on a four-person panel presenting Mediating a Third-Party Insurance Claim Where the Insured and the Insurer Are at Odds at a joint meeting of The NY State Bar Association Dispute Resolution Section’s Mediation and Insurance Dispute Committees.
The panel will discuss situations in which:
- The insurer asserts that it does not cover all claims and wants the insured to monetarily participate in the settlement
- The insurer states that there are strong legal arguments to be made and wants the litigation to proceed, but the insured does not
- The insured wants to settle the claim late in the mediation day at the negotiated amount, but the insurer insists that the cost is too high and refuses
- The insurer wants to settle the claim, but the insured objects due to their own business reasons
This complimentary informational program will be held Monday, April 1 from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm at the American Arbitration Association office at 150 East 42d Street, 17th fl. New York, New York.
The discussion will be followed by networking and a cocktail reception.
The presentation will be available in person and remotely, via Zoom. Registration is necessary for either option.
