Northwestern National, the successor to Bellefonte Insurance
Company, was placed into liquidation by a court in Wisconsin in
May. Northwestern National was previously put into rehabilitation
by the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance in 2007
and exited rehab in 2012. Its policyholder surplus has continued to
decline in recent years and does not meet the statutory minimum.
A claims bar date has been set for November 2,
2019. More information and Proof of Claim forms can be
found at the liquidation website.
Highlands went into receivership in 2003, with an initial claim
bar date of March 30, 2007. A new claim update bar
date—for previously filed, but undetermined claims—has
been set for October 31, 2019. This bar date is for
updates to contingent or unliquidated claims already timely filed
and accepted before the initial bar date. The motion seeking the
updated claim bar date, which includes the proposed "Proof of
Claim Update Form" as Exhibit A to the Craig A. Koenig
Affidavit, can be found here, and the court order approving the motion
and form can be found here. The general Highlands receivership
website is located here.
Policyholders should seek to determine whether Northwestern
National or Highlands wrote coverage in their historic liability
program, and if so, should file a notice of claims, including
Incurred But Not Reported claims, if appropriate, before the claims
bar date. Pillsbury can assist policyholders in attempting to
identify historic coverage and preparing claims for submission, if
required.

When someone gets injured and sues, sometimes the defendant defaults and the claimant is left to pursue its remedies against the defendant's insurance policy.
