Insurance Law Alert, July/August 2011
This Alert features decisions relating to the scope of “bodily injury” and “advertising injury” coverage under general liability policies. It also discusses recent rulings relating to late notice, contribution, exhaustion, and the consequences of an insurer’s breach of its duty to defend. In addition, we address recent case law interpreting attorney-client and work product privilege in the context of insurance coverage disputes. Finally, this Alert summarizes potentially significant decisions allowing use of credit scores in underwriting, permitting suits against retirement plans, and allowing a new brand of unfair trade practice suits. We hope you will continue to turn to the Alert for the latest developments in insurance and reinsurance law.
