9th Circuit Rules for Foresters in California Life Policy Lapse Case
April 8, 2025 by Allison Bell
Three judges at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled in favor of the life insurer in a term life policy lapse case.
The insurer, Foresters Life Insurance and Annuity Co., did violate California’s policy lapse notice rules, but the plaintiff, Pamela Siino, would not have benefited if Foresters had followed the rules because she moved without sending the insurer a change-of-address notice, according to an opinion written by Judge Milan Smith Jr.
