This is a full description of the webinar:
Insurance Policy Interpretation: Recurring Issues,
Ambiguities, Exclusions, Plain Meaning, Burdens of Proof, and More
This CLE webinar will discuss the interpretation of some
of the most fiercely and frequently litigated words and phrases in insurance
policies in the context of coverage disputes. The program will review the rules
for construing insurance policies with respect to ambiguities, exclusions,
plain meaning, burdens of proof, and more, and then consider whether these
rules are evolving to produce unexpected coverage decisions that are changing
insurance law. The speakers will offer both insurer and policyholder perspectives.Description
Resolving coverage disputes and interpreting policies
requires applying both traditional principles of contract interpretation and
unique insurance-related rules of construction about ambiguities, exclusions,
reasonable expectations, unconscionable advantage, illusory coverage, duty of
utmost good faith, and much more. Notwithstanding that many policies have
standard language and phraseology, policyholders, courts, and insurers often
have difficulty ascertaining a policy’s plain meaning in a given factual or
procedural context, leading to seemingly inconsistent outcomes and
unpredictability.Insurance policies are long, complex, and labyrinthine
documents that may not have been precisely drafted for a variety of reasons.
Coverage can turn on the meaning of a single word or phrase, perhaps located
paragraphs or pages away from the main provision. Some words and phrases get
debated and interpreted over and over: arising out of, because of, connected or
related to, accident, any, an, of, and for are just a few examples. As courts
tweak or modify interpreting policies, the law can evolve about what is or is
not covered under particular language.Listen as this accomplished panel of insurance coverage
attorneys reviews the rules for policy interpretation, discusses frequently
litigated issues in the policy language, and offers insights into whether the
law is evolving with respect to these often-disputed provisions.
