S 6936 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to expediting actions involving insurance claims for damages resulting from a state disaster emergency

S 6936 requires courts to hold an early meeting within 30 days for insurance claims related to property damage in counties where the governor has declared a state disaster emergency under Executive Law §28. It mandates a second settlement meeting within 14 days after a case is formally filed, and limits discovery (document sharing) to 60 days after the first meeting. The law applies specifically to property insurance claims resulting from declared disasters like hurricanes or floods, directly affecting homeowners and businesses seeking faster resolution. It does not apply to reinsurance claims or non-disaster-related cases.
