Program Description:
This is the first of a two-part program. It will explore the dilemma faced in construction defect litigation when the specter of lack of or denial of insurance defense and coverage looms. A party defendant in a defect case will require competent counsel and will need the protection of insurance coverage. Similarly, a Plaintiff is looking for monetary compensation which can be in jeopardy if defense and coverage are not available. In this first Part, the topics include:
(1) Is there an “Occurrence”?
(2) The status of the “own work” Exclusion
(3) Dealing with Surplus Lines and Preferred Risk Carrier Exclusions and Conditions
(4) The Ethics Involved in Coverage Disputes
