The duty to defend is the #1 most important liability coverage issue. It arises in every claim – regardless of the policy type and facts. Not to mention that the consequences for an insurer for breaching the duty can be severe. Insurers cannot afford a misstep.
In general, the duty to defend is broad and it is owed if the complaint provides any potential for coverage. But you don't need a webinar to tell you that. Instead, this one hour webinar, presented by Randy Maniloff, will explore advanced, challenging and unique duty to defend issues. The program will look well-beyond the basic duty to defend principles and examine the tough issues – the ones that cause disputes and get litigated because they don't have easy answers.
