Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those involved with general (and professional) liability insurance claims, such as insurance company claims professionals, coverage counsel, risk managers and brokers all respond to a new claim scenario with the same three words: Is it covered? [That may also be the last time that they agree on anything.] It's just three words -- but the answer can be vexing. Despite the relative uniformity of general liability policies, states can differ widely in their interpretation and application of them. So the answer to the "Is it covered?" question can depend a great deal on whether the case arises on one side of the street (or river or mountain) or another.General liability issues usually involve one or more rules, or schools of thought, that govern their resolution. The task for courts is often to identify and examine these various rules and decide which to apply to the claim before it. "General Liability Insurance Coverage -- Key Issues in Every State" sets forth the rules that have been adopted by all 50 states, and the District of Columbia, for 21 important and commonly occurring general liability insurance coverage issues. And about half the issues are just as relevant for professional liability claims scenarios. 50 State Surveys on insurance coverage issues are inherently limited. "Key Issues" understands this and seeks to provide as much relevant information as possible to maximize their usefulness. To the extent possible, "Key Issues" sets out the aspects of cases (e.g., facts and/or policy language) that were at issue in the court's decision. This enables the reader to compare the cases in the book, to his or her claim at hand, and come away with an understanding of how the issue may be resolved by a court. Although "Key Issues" is aimed at attorneys and insurance professionals with some degree of experience, it is accessible to entry-level readers as well. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the CGL policy. Each chapter after that contains an overview of the nature, background, development, and competing schools of thought concerning a key issue followed by a comprehensive state-by-state summary of relevant law, including the latest cases and developments.Table of ContentsCommercial General Liability Insurance-An OverviewChoice of Law for Coverage DisputesLate Notice Defense Under "Occurrence" Policies: Is Prejudice to the Insurer Required?

Book excerpt: Despite the relative uniformity of general liability policies (and professional liability policies), states can differ widely in their interpretation and application of them. Case law can have a dramatic impact on the question whether coverage is owed.

Download or read book Liability written by Robert E. Litan and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has recently witnessed an explosion of personal injury lawsuits involving medical malpractice, unsafe products, and widespread environmental hazards. Jury awards and out-of-court settlements have escalated in many cases to hundreds of thousands of dollars. At the same time, premiums for liability insurance have skyrocketed. As a result, physicians have cut back services and some municipalities and businesses have been denied liability coverage altogether. Some experts claim that only fundamental reform of the nation's civil justice system will end this "insurance crisis." But critics of such wholesale judicial reform contend that the insurance industry has launced a "tort reform" campaign to cover its own past underwriting mistakes. Liability brings together economists and experts in liability law and the insurance industry to assess the merits of the conflicting positions and to formulate sound public policy. Led by Robert Litan and Clifford Winston, the contributors describe the major changes that have contributed to the insurance crunch and set forth a methodological framework for evaluating the debate over the current liability system. They conclude that increases in premiums and cutbacks in coverage have been real but selective; that the forces in the judicial system responsible for rising liability costs are not readily subject to change; and that we know too little about the cost and benefits of the current tort system to replace it with an alternative compensation program.
