27 Umbrella Policies Unlike an excess policy that sits above one policy or tower of coverage, an umbrella policy sits above of and in between specifically scheduled insurance policies.
28 Umbrella Policies Two ways to reach an umbrella policy Exhaustion of primary Primary does not cover (may cover)
29 Umbrella Policies If picking up coverage that to which this is no primary coverage a deductible or SIR may apply. If primary is exhausted the umbrella may have duty to defend.

38 Insurance Coverage Litigation The Declaratory Judgment Action
39 Insurance Coverage Litigation Anatomy of a DJ Action DJ actions seek a judicial declaration of the rights and obligations of the parties. DJ actions are pursuant to statute and may be brought in Federal Court (Federal Declaratory Judgment Act) or State Court.
40 Insurance Coverage Litigation Anatomy of a DJ Action (cont.) Typically brought by insured when insurer denies coverage and underlying claim is pending Alternative for insured is to sue insurer for breach and seek damages Viability of DJ action: Not affected by noaction clause in policy Can be brought to resolve coverage issues among multiple insurers
41 Insurance Coverage Litigation Anatomy of a DJ Action (cont.) Conditions for DJ: 1. Party seeking declaratory judgment has an interest, legal or equitable, as to party s rights or other legal relations; 2. There is actual bona fide and substantial question or issue in dispute or substantial uncertainty which requires settlement; 3. Even if alternate procedure exists, court is of opinion that party should be allowed to proceed with claim for declaratory judgment.
42 Insurance Coverage Litigation DJ Action - Strategy Choice of Law/Conflicts of Law Insurance coverage law is state specific Specific state s law may be outcome determinative
43 Insurance Coverage Litigation DJ Action Strategy - Example A. Policyholder in NJ B. Insurer in Illinois C. Broker in NY NJ law on issue favors policyholder Illinois law on issue favors insurer Conflicts of Law place of contracting v. most significant relationship test
44 Insurance Coverage Litigation In Closing CGL is litigation insurance Give notice early and often Never destroy policies
