With the potential for nuclear verdicts weighing on the minds of legal departments, preserving the right to liability insurance is vital. In turn, insurance companies face similar risks for exposure targeting multiple policyholders and industries. This shared vulnerability raises the stakes for both insured and insurers alike.
We will examine how insurance companies lure policyholders into coverage litigation that improperly seeks a determination of coverage as a matter of law based on disputed underlying allegations, a proposition limited solely to the duty to defend. We will identify how to properly resolve the independent obligations to defend and to pay for settlements and judgments by exposing the fabricated propositions behind the insurance industry’s strategy.
