Insurance Law Alert, September 2011
This Alert features decisions relating to allocation, the availability of excess coverage when a policyholder settles with its primary insurer for less than policy limits, the use of extrinsic evidence in evaluating an insurer’s duty to defend, and interpretation of “other insurance” clauses in overlapping policies. It also discusses rulings on the pollution exclusion, medical monitoring claims, and the enforcement of a bond posting statute. Finally, we summarize two recent decisions interpreting the scope of D&O coverage. We hope you will continue to turn to the Alert for the latest developments in insurance and reinsurance law.
