North Dakota regulates unfair claim-settlement practices
North Dakota Century Code chapter 26.1-04 prohibits unfair or deceptive insurance practices, including unfair claim-settlement conduct when performed as a general business practice.
Coverage disclosure should follow the actual legal basis
Request declarations, endorsements, umbrella or excess coverage, employer/commercial policies, and other potentially applicable insurance. Do not assume a universal pre-suit policy-limits disclosure rule beyond the statute, policy, or procedural rule that actually applies.
