Benefit of New Hampshire Law

Most disability policies give the insurance company discretion. This means a judge must rule in favor of the insurance company unless it entirely unreasonably in denying benefits. This is a tough standard to meet.

Many states have passed laws banning discretionary clauses in disability insurance policies. There is no total ban of discretionary clauses in New Hampshire. However, the New Hampshire state insurance department passed a regulation requiring the approval of discretionary clauses. There are specific requirements the insurance policy must meet in order to properly grant the insurance company discretion. In short, this law requires discretionary clauses contain an explanation as to the consequences of discretion. Our lawyers will help you better understand your rights under your disability policy.
