## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Insurance Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/insurance-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List the date of loss, the date the insurer was told, each later request, and the date of any denial, with the document name. Do not say the insurer was prejudiced or that late notice is excused. |
| What the lawyer must review | Prejudice and late-notice rules are state insurance law under 15 U.S.C. § 1012. The NAIC model, where enacted, treats a failure to investigate promptly and a failure to affirm or deny coverage within a reasonable time after investigation as unfair claims practices only if flagrant or a general business practice, and it disclaims a private right of action. You apply the state's cases and its enacted claims statute to the dates in the chronology. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the date of loss, the date the insurer was told, each later request, and the date of any denial, with the document name. Do not say the insurer was prejudiced or that late notice is excused.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not import a uniform national notice-prejudice rule. The states differ, and claims-made policies differ again.
- Workers' compensation, fidelity, suretyship, and boiler and machinery claims are outside the stated purpose of NAIC model MO-900.
