Defending the Insured

After an insurer has decided the primary question that the third-party claim against the insured is covered (whether fully, partially, or potentially), and a defense is owed, then what? Defending the Insured will address this very subject. The treatise will address the several secondary questions of how is the defense to be conducted and how are the parties (insurer, defense attorney, and insured) to conduct themselves and relate to each other. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion of topics starting with duty to defend and obligations of each of the parties. Reference tables then list which states have addressed the topic at hand-- and how they have handled it-- and then include a state-by-state review of the issue. The reader can use Defending the Insured to review his or her own state or compare and contrast with other states.
