George Kenny, a partner in Connell Foley LLP’s Insurance Coverage Group, recently co-authored, along with Frank Lattal, the 2026 edition of New Jersey Insurance Law, the state's leading publication on insurance law.
Mr. Kenny and Mr. Lattal, a former Connell Foley partner and the retired Chief Claims Officer for Chubb Group, have co-authored this publication every year since its debut in 1993. The New Jersey Supreme Court and Appellate Division often cite it, and it has become the standard insurance reference text for judges in New Jersey.
As described by its publisher, New Jersey Insurance Law provides comprehensive, accurate and in-depth information about insurance policies, issues and law in New Jersey. This annual paperback provides the most up-to-date information in the most reader-friendly format.
“Each year, the volume includes all reported New Jersey insurance law cases decided during the prior year so that the latest edition is always up to date,” the publisher’s website states. “Chapters are expanded and revised each year, to ensure that current law is presented in an easily accessible format to assist in further research. New Jersey Insurance Law has been cited on many occasions by the appellate courts of New Jersey.”
Key additions and revisions to the 2026 edition include:
- Analysis of Rodriguez v. Shelbourne Spring, LLC, considering the "substantial certainty" test for proving an intentional wrong by an employer to obtain money damages and the insurer's obligation to defend an employer, citing to this treatise in the Court's opinion
- Revisions to numerous chapters, including to the chapter on formation and termination of an insurance contract
- Discussion of Allstate New Jersey Insurance Co. v. Carteret Comprehensive Medical Care, PC, reviewing the interrelationship between the Insurance Fraud Prevention Act, the New Jersey Anti-Racketeering Act (RICO) and the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to resolve arbitration issues harmonizing these three statutes in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) cases
- Structural changes to aid research of the various topics in the book
