Last May 3, Evelyne Verrier, a Lavery partner, gave a presentation during a workshop on case law highlights in life and disability insurance over the past year, at the 2012 Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association’s Claims Section Annual Conference.
The workshop dealt mainly with the following topics: misrepresentation, burden of proof, designation of beneficiaries, duty to inform and duty to advise, contract interpretation, action in damages, and definition of disability. Ms. Verrier frequently appears before the courts in disputes concerning life and disability insurance, and damage insurance. She also has expertise in the distribution of financial products and services.
