Groundbreaking Shift in Colorado Insurance Policy Regulations
The article explains that Colorado permits the assignment of insurance claim benefits after a loss, even if the insurance policy includes an anti-assignment clause. Typically, insurance policies prevent the transfer of rights and duties without the insurer’s consent to avoid increasing their risk.
