Description

The Insurer's Duty to Defend: Issues and Analysis Douglas R Richmond ISBN 9781639054558

The Duty to Defend provides a practical, in-depth analysis of one of the most litigated areas of insurance law, offering a day-to-day resource for attorneys representing both insurers and policyholders, as well as for courts.

The book opens with Chapter One, which addresses the fundamental principles of the duty to defend, and concludes in Chapter Eleven with a detailed discussion of nonexecution agreements and consent judgments. The chapters in between examine:

  • Insurers’ defenses under reservations of rights and nonwaiver agreements

  • Conflicts of interest in insurance defense

  • The occasional duty of insurers to defend offensively, including prosecuting counterclaims, crossclaims, and third-party claims on behalf of insureds

  • Insurers’ duty to defend post-judgment proceedings and their responsibilities in appeals

  • Termination of the duty to defend

  • Insurers’ right to recoup defense costs for uncovered claims or causes of action

  • Allocation of defense costs

  • Consequences of an insurer’s breach of the duty to defend

  • Defenses under defense-cost indemnification policies

Authored by distinguished lawyers and scholars with deep expertise in insurance law, The Duty to Defend equips practitioners with practical guidance, analysis, and insight into the complex legal, strategic, and procedural issues surrounding the duty to defend.
