SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Disclosure of insurance policy limits; wrongful death action. 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 death certificate; the certificate of qualification of the personal representative of the decedent's estate; the names and relationship of the statutory beneficiaries of the decedent; medical bills, if any; and a description of the source, amount, and payment history of the claimed income loss for each beneficiary. 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. This bill incorporates SB 638.
