Should Premiums Be Returned When Policies Are Obtained by Fraud? Top
In his Insurance Fraud column, Rivkin Radler partner Evan H. Krinick writes: The rule that an insurer seeking to rescind an insurance contract for fraud must return premiums it had received is long established in New York.

A recent Eighth Circuit decision suggests the viability of not requiring the return of premiums in such cases.
 
Role of Non-Party Physician Witness in Personal Injury Litigation Top
In their Medical Malpractice Defense column, John L.A. Lyddane and Barbara D. Goldberg, partners at Martin Clearwater & Bell, write: A well-balanced defense may require the participation of non-party treating physicians, and their presence and testimony at trial could communicate a legitimacy which is not conveyed by either the parties or their expert witnesses. Whether non-party physicians can advance the position of a litigant requires careful analysis by the trial attorney, who needs a solid basis for that analysis.
