Utah has enacted Senate Bill 74, which, among other provisions, establishes requirements relating to policy-limit demands and disclosures in third-party liability claims related to motor vehicle liability.
The bill establishes requirements for the content of policy-limit demand letters from a claimant to a liability insurance carrier and requirements for correspondence from a claimant or a claimant's legal counsel to an unrepresented insured. Additionally, the bill requires a liability insurance carrier to provide written disclosure to the insured regarding defense and indemnification as well as outlines what should be included in such disclosure.
