Today on “Don't Take No For An Answer,” host Lynda A. Bennett is joined by Alexander B. Corson for a discussion about priority of coverage, or who pays what when there are numerous claims, parties, and policies at play. As always, Lowenstein’s Insurance Recovery lawyers reinforce the bedrock insurance principle that the words matter when determining the scope of coverage responsibilities. Through that lens, Lynda and Alex discuss the variations of “other insurance” clauses and how courts interpret those clauses. Along the way, the pair also debunk a few myths about priority of coverage issues, including insurer overuse of such clauses and how to push back in the face of that situation/how to avoid it altogether.

Speakers:

Lynda A. Bennett, Partner and Chair, Insurance Recovery
Alexander B. Corson, Associate, Insurance Recovery
