Chad - I think it is pretty obvious that this will come down to the phrasing of the direct question that they asked. If they asked if he was 'currently undergoing treatment' and not if he had 'a suspicion of any possible medical illness, disease or condition' then he, and the production company, will and should get their claim paid. The insurer needs to phrase their question correctly. I am a casualty underwriter and I would never dream of having a claim against one of my Insureds knocked back if I didn't ask the right question. Perhaps Firemans will need to take this kick up the backside (no pun intended) and rephrase their questions so that they more accurately request the information they are chasing.
