Notify Your EPLI Carrier When You Get The EEOC Charge
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia recently held in American Ctr. for Int’l Labor Solidarity v. Federal Ins. Co. (D.D.C., Oct. 15, 2007), that an employer that failed to notify its insurance company of an employment discrimination claim filed at the EEOC cannot recover the costs of settlement and defense from the insurer.
