In the latest client alert, Senior Counsel Emily Chaidez discusses the California Supreme Court's decision in Rosenberg-Wohl v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. regarding the statute of limitations for insurance claims. The Court ruled that the four-year statute of limitations under California's Unfair Competition Law (UCL) applies when a policyholder challenges an insurer's general claims-handling practices, rather than seeking monetary recovery under the policy, which falls under the one-year limitation of California Insurance Code Section 2071. This decision underscores the importance of seeking legal advice promptly to ensure claims are filed within the correct timeframe, as different statutes of limitations may apply based on the lawsuit's nature.
