Why Do Prior Open Claims Matter?

So I'm pretty sure I'm going to fist fight an underwriter (again..) If I have an insured who has an open liability claim on their prior homeowner's, what the hell does the new carrier care? How could they get pulled into it? If I write the people, our new coverage wasn't in effect at the time of the loss, so what's the big freaking deal?
