A Deep Dive into the Duty to Defend

Tuesday, March 23 from noon to 1:00 p.m.

The Insurance Committee welcomes you to join us in a “deep dive” of duty to defend issues. We invite and encourage you to join our community forum meeting to share with your policyholder and insurer counsel colleagues your experiences, questions and opinions on these topics:

The Complaint Rule: why duty to defend is broader than duty to indemnify, waivers from failure to defend, right to reimbursement under Hecla, and applicability of the Pompa and AIMCO exceptions;
The Failure to Cooperate Defense under CRS 10-3-1118 as it applies to an insurer's duty to defend its insured;
Additional Insured matters: priority of additional insureds and the insurer's obligations based on policy terms, contractual requirements and the Anti-Indemnity Statute;
Reservations of Rights: defense afforded under the ROR and elements of a properly executed ROR, and waivers; and
Anticipatory Declaratory Judgment Actions.

Also, if there are additional duty to defend issues you would like to discuss, please let us know before the meeting so we can add them to the agenda.
