Alan P. Jacobus will be speaking in an upcoming Strafford live webinar, “Insurer’s Duty to Defend: Navigating Flexibility in the “Eight Corners” Rule, Withdrawal from an Ongoing Defense and More” scheduled for Thursday, August 17, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT.
The panel will discuss three important aspects of a liability insurer’s duty to defend: (1) determining an insurer’s duty to defend from pleadings and other sources; (2) circumstances when an insurer can withdraw from a defense; and (3) sometimes overlooked issues where there is collusion in the insurer-insured-claimant relationship. The program will look at how various jurisdictions interpret these thorny issues and best arguments from the perspective of both insurers and policyholders.
After the presentations, the panel will engage in a live question and answer session with participants to answer questions about these important issues directly.
