A sexual abuse survivors' rights group is lobbying insurance regulators across the country to investigate Chubb Ltd.'s marketing and claims-handling practices. This comes after the Archdiocese of New York accused the insurer of waging a 'shadow campaign' against the church.

Why it matters

The Coalition for Just and Compassionate Compensation believes Chubb's alleged actions undermine the promise of the Child Victims Act to provide healing and justice for survivors of sexual abuse.

The details

The coalition said it was sending letters to New York's Department of Financial Services and other state agencies, calling on them to investigate the carrier based on its alleged actions against the archdiocese.

  • The letters were sent on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
