New York No Recoupment: Understanding Insurer Obligations and Policy Terms
The issue of New York no recoupment in insurance law has remained largely unsettled—until now. In General Star Indemnity Co. v. Driven Sports, Inc., No. 14-CV-3579 (JFB)(ARL), 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 7966 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 23, 2015), the court examined whether an insurer could recoup fees expended in defending, settling, or indemnifying an insured when no potential coverage existed, despite failing to reserve its right to seek recoupment. The decision reinforced the trend in several state Supreme Court rulings, including those in Illinois, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Washington, rejecting an insurer’s attempt to recoup such costs.
