Tennnessee High Court: Presumption Law Protects Agents, Carriers
Under Tennessee law, policyholders who pay their premiums create a legal presumption that they have accepted the terms of coverage. The statute limits lawsuits by underinsured policyholders who thought they had enough coverage but found after a loss that they did not.
The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled this month that the presumption created by Tennessee Code Annotated Section 56-7-135(b) applies to insurance agents as well as insurance carriers.
The high court reversed the Court of Appeals and granted summary judgment against a lawsuit filed by a couple who say they their insurance agent for excess uninsured motorist coverage when they bought a policy, but discovered they didn’t have the coverage only after the wife was injured in an accident that wasn’t her fault.
