2022 Insurance Industry Institute
Presented by Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel
On Thursday, November 10, 2022 at 4:10 pm JAMS neutral Andrew Nadolna will be a speaker on the panel titled "Insurer v. Insurer Battles - Should Where You Stand Always Depend On Where You Sit?" “Insurer v. Insurer” disputes are unavoidable, but litigation is not always the answer and often has ramifications beyond the case at hand. Andrew Nadolna along with a stellar panel will examine the various contexts in which such disputes arise (including equitable subrogation and other primary/excess claims, co-insurance and contribution battles, disputes regarding additional insureds, priority of coverage, selection/performance of defense counsel, exhaustion, trigger and allocation, and bad faith allegations) and provide examples of the collateral damage that has resulted from insurer v. insurer litigation. The panelists will then turn to the difficulties these matters can create for insurers and their counsel and challenge the audience to consider alternative/better ways to resolve or mitigate (and perhaps avoid) at least some of these disputes.
