This is the first of a two-part program. It will explore the dilemma faced in construction defect litigation when there is a threat that insurance defense and coverage is either lacking or will be denied. 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:
- Is there an “Occurrence”?
- The status of the “own work” Exclusion
- Dealing with Surplus Lines and Preferred Risk Carrier Exclusions and Conditions
- The Ethics Involved in Coverage Disputes
