CMN Member Joe Jeffery and CMN Associate Alex J. Verdugo authored an article published in DRI’s For the Defense in April 2024.
The article, “All in the Family: Does the Use of an Applicant’s Family History of Diseases or Disorders in Life Insurance Underwriting Violate Illinois’ Genetic Information Privacy Act?” examines claims made in four recently filed lawsuits alleging the defendant life insurers violated Illinois’ Genetic Information Privacy Act by relying on the plaintiffs’ family histories of diagnoses of and/or deaths due to certain diseases or disorders for underwriting purposes.
