Climate change has become a significant issue in scientific, political, and legal circles, and this may have profound implications for the insurance industry.

Climate Change and Insurance is the first publication of its kind and the definitive resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex risks and opportunities associated with climate change and its potential impacts on the insurance industry. Climate Change and Insurance delves deep into the issues surrounding both current and emerging legal aspects.

At its most fundamental nature, the purpose of additional insured coverage is to protect the additional insured from claims of vicarious liability, that is, liability based entirely on the relationship between two insureds, as opposed to any active negligence on the part of the additional insured. The contours, exceptions, nuances and alternative approaches taken across the country and, internationally, have created the need for an all-inclusive lawyer resource. The Handbook on Additional Insureds serves as that resource by addressing all aspects practitioners are faced with when dealing with this complex coverage. Chapters include, but are not limited to: Definitions and Comparisons of Commonly Used Titles Common Provisions Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreements Memorializing Status Development of Common Endorsements Subrogation and Anti-Subrogation Limits Issues

By Law, American Bar Association Section of Antitrust. American Bar Association. 3;2017-05. 2017.
Since publication of the second edition of Insurance Antitrust Handbook , the insurance industry has been in the headlines regarding antitrust-related issues, including merger challenges, state and federal antitrust enforcement actions, and private party multidistrict litigation class action proceedings.

The next several chapters examine whether the insurance industry's main practices …

By Committee, Insurance Coverage Litigation. American Bar Association. ;2019-10. 2019.
Indemnity is compensation given to make another whole from a loss already sustained. Contractual indemnity, on the other hand, is that which is voluntarily given as security or protection to prevent his or her suffering damage. But this contractually created indemnity has potential implications on another important form of contractual indemnity: the liability insurance policy. The ultimate question is whether the indemnity agreement is enforceable and what impact it has on the insurance obligation. A uniform format is followed in each of the state summaries: Section 1 - General Rules of Contractual Indemnity: A preliminary discussion of indemnity agreements. Section 2 - Exceptions to General Rules of Contractual Indemnity: Identifies statutory or judicially created exceptions to the general rules applicable to contracts of indemnity. Section 3 - Indemnity Agreements as Insured Contracts: Addresses the extent to which an insured's agreement to indemnify a third party constitutes …

This book is about lender force-placed insurance practices ("LFPI") in the hands of alleged predatory mortgage loan servicers. It is written to meet the needs of professionals including financial counselors and lawyers who counsel borrowers and lenders concerning these practices. In the end, counseling borrowers and lenders may ultimately require providing legal representation in presenting and litigating their claims and defenses arising from LFPI practices. Homeowners cannot forget, and so their counselors and representatives should never forget, that what is ultimately at stake in these cases is someone's home. This requires professionalism, which is required in all cases but is particularly required in an area like this where the stakes are so great.

?Split-dollar financing of life insurance premium payments is useful in any situation where one person or entity has the cash to pay the premiums and another person or entity has the need for life insurance coverage. In recent years, split-dollar arrangements have been used in a wealth transfer context, allowing the annual gift to the ILIT to be much less than the entire premium payment, because the employer, corporation or donor was entitled to recover its advances from the cash value or death benefit. Leveraging Life Insurance Premium Payments: Using Split-Dollar and Related Party Premium Financing Techniques examines and explains the peculiar rules for both of the premium financing regimes as well as the tax consequences and planning techniques of each. The tax and other issues affecting split-dollar arrangements grandfathered from the Final Split-Dollar Regulations are also analyzed.

For many years, life insurance was considered one of the most ethical and stable financial services businesses. But, following the introduction of flexible premium non-guaranteed death benefit products in the early 1980s, this reputation gradually changed. Today there is a life insurance policy crisis for reasons predicted 35 years ago, and it requires attention in order to avoid policy lapse without value along with allegations of deceptive and misleading practices. How could this happen? Policy crediting rates have continually declined from the 15% non-guaranteed range to the guaranteed minimum, typically 4%. Sales agents had the software to prepare illustrations at crediting rates known not be sustainable over a 25 to 50-year time period, giving rise to the 'win the illustration contest' sales era. As the crediting rate drop to the guaranteed minimum, cost of insurance charges increased, which accelerates the probability of policy lapse especially with policies insuring seniors if c…

?No-fault insurance fraud amounts to a significant "fraud tax" on consumers, estimated at billions of dollars each year. Currently, 12 states have a no-fault law (FL, HI, KS, KN, MA, MI, MN, ND, NJ, NY, PA, and UT). While there are considerable variations among the no-fault laws in each of these states, they can broadly be classified by the degree to which the respective systems permit or abolish tort liability, and – assuming tort liability is permitted – the type of threshold an injured party must meet before tort liability is permitted. Automobile insurance companies have been the primary actors in the fight against no-fault fraud, engaging in civil litigation against no-fault insurance fraud rings. This book provides a general and practice-focused guide from the perspective of a plaintiff-insurer to no-fault insurance anti-fraud litigation, from inception through summary judgment.

Attorneys who specialize in insurance coverage litigation have long noted the varied approaches used in different jurisdictions to interpret and apply insurance policies. There are many similarities, yet some striking differences. Core issues on which the jurisdictions differ include: The degree of deference given the "reasonable expectations" of the insured How those expectations are determined The circumstances in which they make affect the meaning of policy language The result of your case may depend on which law governs. Reasonable Expectations: Interpreting Insurance Policies in Common Law Jurisdictions is a reference guide for lawyers needing a quick orientation to the law of insurance in specific jurisdictions, particularly when faced with difficult conflict-of-law questions.

By Guevara, David L. American Bar Association. 1;1. 2014.
Environmental Liability and Insurance Recovery is for the lawyer whose practice lies at the point where two areas of the legal profession - environmental law and insurance law - intersect. These areas of the law demand the mastery of an intricately involved set of concepts, definitions, rules, and regulations - all of which are continuously developing. Insightful clarification on the topic is provided, as well as subset of the legal issues at the crossroads of environmental law and insurance law, namely, the many ways in which a party may be exposed to environmental liability and how insurance coverage may provide financial support for such liability. Topics covered include: • Statutory Liability, related to: CERCLA, the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act, clean air and clean water acts • Tort Liability including nuisance, trespass, negligence, and strict liability • The General Liability Policy • Policy exclusions and defenses to coverage • Environmental impairment liabili…

Providing an explanation of the complex state-based regulatory system that governs the insurance industry in the United States, Fundamentals of Insurance Regulation presents the applicable statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions, as well as information about the industry's products, its operating procedures, distribution channels, and financial characteristics and performance. To round out the picture the book describes the regulatory process—its core objectives, how and by whom policy is formulated, and how the rules are enforced.

This book is about lender force-placed insurance practices ("LFPI") in the hands of alleged predatory mortgage loan servicers. It is written to meet the needs of professionals including financial counselors and lawyers who counsel borrowers and lenders concerning these practices. In the end, counseling borrowers and lenders may ultimately require providing legal representation in presenting and litigating their claims and defenses arising from LFPI practices. Homeowners cannot forget, and so their counselors and representatives should never forget, that what is ultimately at stake in these cases is someone's home. This requires professionalism, which is required in all cases but is particularly required in an area like this where the stakes are so great.

?Split-dollar financing of life insurance premium payments is useful in any situation where one person or entity has the cash to pay the premiums and another person or entity has the need for life insurance coverage. In recent years, split-dollar arrangements have been used in a wealth transfer context, allowing the annual gift to the ILIT to be much less than the entire premium payment, because the employer, corporation or donor was entitled to recover its advances from the cash value or death benefit. Leveraging Life Insurance Premium Payments: Using Split-Dollar and Related Party Premium Financing Techniques examines and explains the peculiar rules for both of the premium financing regimes as well as the tax consequences and planning techniques of each. The tax and other issues affecting split-dollar arrangements grandfathered from the Final Split-Dollar Regulations are also analyzed.

?No-fault insurance fraud amounts to a significant "fraud tax" on consumers, estimated at billions of dollars each year. Currently, 12 states have a no-fault law (FL, HI, KS, KN, MA, MI, MN, ND, NJ, NY, PA, and UT). While there are considerable variations among the no-fault laws in each of these states, they can broadly be classified by the degree to which the respective systems permit or abolish tort liability, and – assuming tort liability is permitted – the type of threshold an injured party must meet before tort liability is permitted. Automobile insurance companies have been the primary actors in the fight against no-fault fraud, engaging in civil litigation against no-fault insurance fraud rings. This book provides a general and practice-focused guide from the perspective of a plaintiff-insurer to no-fault insurance anti-fraud litigation, from inception through summary judgment.

Attorneys who specialize in insurance coverage litigation have long noted the varied approaches used in different jurisdictions to interpret and apply insurance policies. There are many similarities, yet some striking differences. Core issues on which the jurisdictions differ include: The degree of deference given the "reasonable expectations" of the insured How those expectations are determined The circumstances in which they make affect the meaning of policy language The result of your case may depend on which law governs. Reasonable Expectations: Interpreting Insurance Policies in Common Law Jurisdictions is a reference guide for lawyers needing a quick orientation to the law of insurance in specific jurisdictions, particularly when faced with difficult conflict-of-law questions. The survey chapters are arranged in a 50-state survey format, expanded to include common law interpretation in Canada, England, and Wales, as well as the anticipated ALI Restatement of the Law of Liability …

At its most fundamental nature, the purpose of additional insured coverage is to protect the additional insured from claims of vicarious liability, that is, liability based entirely on the relationship between two insureds, as opposed to any active negligence on the part of the additional insured. The contours, exceptions, nuances and alternative approaches taken across the country and, internationally, have created the need for an all-inclusive lawyer resource. The Handbook on Additional Insureds serves as that resource by addressing all aspects practitioners are faced with when dealing with this complex coverage. Chapters include, but are not limited to: Definitions and Comparisons of Commonly Used Titles Common Provisions Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreements Memorializing Status Development of Common Endorsements Subrogation and Anti-Subrogation Limits Issues

Indemnity is compensation given to make another whole from a loss already sustained. Contractual indemnity, on the other hand, is that which is voluntarily given as security or protection to prevent his or her suffering damage. But this contractually created indemnity has potential implications on another important form of contractual indemnity: the liability insurance policy. The ultimate question is whether the indemnity agreement is enforceable and what impact it has on the insurance obligation. A uniform format is followed in each of the state summaries: Section 1 - General Rules of Contractual Indemnity: A preliminary discussion of indemnity agreements. Section 2 - Exceptions to General Rules of Contractual Indemnity: Identifies statutory or judicially created exceptions to the general rules applicable to contracts of indemnity. Section 3 - Indemnity Agreements as Insured Contracts: Addresses the extent to which an insured's agreement to indemnify a third party constitutes …

For many years, life insurance was considered one of the most ethical and stable financial services businesses. But, following the introduction of flexible premium non-guaranteed death benefit products in the early 1980s, this reputation gradually changed. Today there is a life insurance policy crisis for reasons predicted 35 years ago, and it requires attention in order to avoid policy lapse without value along with allegations of deceptive and misleading practices. How could this happen? Policy crediting rates have continually declined from the 15% non-guaranteed range to the guaranteed minimum, typically 4%. Sales agents had the software to prepare illustrations at crediting rates known not be sustainable over a 25 to 50-year time period, giving rise to the 'win the illustration contest' sales era. As the crediting rate drop to the guaranteed minimum, cost of insurance charges increased, which accelerates the probability of policy lapse especially with policies insuring seniors if c…
