This article analyzes coverage A, bodily injury and property damage coverages of the ISO CGL form CG 00 01.
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability:
Summary: Coverage A of the current commercial general liability (CGL) coverage forms, both the
occurrence form and the claims-made form, provides bodily injury and property damage liability
insurance. This article discusses the features of coverage A that are common to both the occurrence
and the claims-made form.
This article discusses the separation of insureds clause as it applies in various policies: CGL, business auto, garage, truckers, and business owners. Includes reference to additional insured and cross liability coverage on the commercial general liability form.
The wording of current liability insurance policies has brought about questions concerning who is insured and to whom the various exclusions and conditions apply. The separation of insureds clause under the CGL form, for example, states that the insurance applies “as if each named insured were the only named insured’’ and “separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought.’’ So a question arises: if the named insured makes a liability claim against an entity who is an insured under the named insured’s CGL form, will the insurer defend that other insured and pay the named insured for his or her alleged damages?
Another example is exclusion (j) (4) on the CGL form. That exclusion deals with property damage to personal property in the care, custody, or control of the insured. Here, the question is: does the exclusion apply only to the particular insured that has the personal property in his or her hands, or can it be applied to all the insureds under the CGL form simply because one of the insureds has control of the property?
Marine Insurance is considered to be a tough nut to crack. This slide presentation would give the viewers some basic aspects of Marine Insurance. Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Insurance law is the practice of law surrounding insurance, including insurance policies and claims. It can be broadly broken into three categories - regulation of the business of insurance; regulation of the content of insurance policies, especially with regard to consumer policies; and regulation of claim handling.

Self-Insured Retentions Part 2: An Examination of the Uses and Problems (from...NationalUnderwriter
This second and concluding part of the discussion on self-insured retentions first itemizes the points that should be
considered when either drafting or accepting SIRs. The discussion then addresses some additional problem areas not only with self-insured retentions having to do with primary liability policies, but also with the SIR feature of umbrella policies. It is not unusual, furthermore, for litigants, among others, to confuse deductibles with self-insured retentions, and there are differences, as one case discussed points out. In light of the fact that self-insured retentions also are growing, it also is important that parties to a contract are informed of their existence. To not do so, could end up with the accusation of failure to procure the proper insurance and, of course, such a breach is not covered by liability policies. It is for this reason that perhaps insurance certificates should be amended to insert room to notify (and warn) certificate holders of an SIR existence.
This paper examines the broad net Congress cast to capture event contracts under the Commodities Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) jurisdiction and the exclusion the CFTC crafted allowing traditional indemnity-based insurance to remain within the jurisdiction of state insurance regulation.
Relation with Insurance law as a contingent contract. Whether Insurance law is a contingent contract or not? Yes obviously it is a contingent contract.
Climate Risk, Parametric Insurance, and Dodd-FrankJasonSchupp1
Parametric contracts may ultimately mature into an effective tool to assist U.S. businesses, nonprofits, local governments, and even families to manage risks relating to climate change. Before this product set can be trusted to deliver on that promise, parametric contracts must first be securely grounded in an appropriate regulatory framework.
Parametric contracts are undoubtedly swaps within the jurisdiction of the CFTC. The regulatory safe harbor CFTC granted to traditional insurance products only extends to state-regulated insurance policies indemnifying the policyholder to the extent of an actual, proven loss. This exception to the CFTC’s jurisdiction cannot reasonably stretch to encompass parametric contracts that promise a formulaic payout based on the parameters of an external event.
There is mounting evidence that Congress, state insurance regulators, consumers, and other stakeholders have embraced state regulation of parametric insurance contracts despite the clear jurisdictional mandate of the CFTC. For example, a bill currently pends before the U.S. House that would compel insurance companies to offer parametric pandemic insurance contracts regulated not by the CFTC but by state insurance regulators. Similarly, a recent federal Civil Innovation Grant awarded $1 million to pilot climate-related parametric insurance contracts provided to underserved communities in New York City.
Nothing prohibits an insurance company from offering parametric products so long as it complies with CFTC rules such as registration, data reporting, anti-money laundering protections, training and oversight of staff, and use registered brokers. In fact, compliant insurance companies and NFA registered insurance agents and brokers are well positioned to compete alongside other financial services sectors in a vibrant parametric contract market overseen by the CFTC.
The CFTC must either aggressively police its jurisdictional perimeter or expressly cede its authority over parametric contracts to insurance regulators. Until the CFTC speaks up, the potential for parametric contracts to contribute to the management of climate-related risk will profoundly underdeliver while consumers are marketed inefficient and legally dubious parametric insurance contracts.

A Florida jury has rejected a couple’s claim that they were entitled to $600,000 from their homeowner’s insurance company for water damage to their residence, finding that the damage claimed by the couple had not been caused by water flowing from a water spout that had been left on overnight.
Facts & Allegations
Andres and Doris Cabo alleged that on January 11, 2011, their residence in Miami-Dade County sustained property damage as a result of their daughter leaving the kitchen faucet’s filtered water spout on overnight. The couple filed a claim with their insurance carrier, Security First Insurance, for water damage to their home.

CFTC Grants No Action Relief to Commodity Pool Operators with Respect to Certain Insurance-Linked Securitization Vehicles by Daphne G. Frydman, Brian Barrett, and Raymond A. Ramirez
Toward the end of 2014, the staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (“CFTC”) Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (“DSIO”) issued two letters affecting insurance-linked securitization vehicles: CFTC Letter No. 14-145[1] and CFTC Letter No. 14-152.[2]
Both CFTC Letters 14-152 and 14-145, which are summarized below, afford relief from certain Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) compliance obligations. Although Letter 14-145 preceded Letter 14-152, the summary begins with Letter 14-152 because Letter 14-145 is a no-action letter that was issued to a specific (and anonymous) market participant and cannot be relied on by other market participants. In contrast, Letter 14-152 was addressed to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) and affords industry-wide relief from CPO registration to certain entities that engage in insurance-linked securities transactions.

Supreme Court of Texas Marries Contractual Limitations to Insurance Policies by Tom Stilwell, John English, Justin T. Scott, and J. Sean Jain
In a case that has been closely watched by the oil and gas industry and its insurers, the Supreme Court of Texas recently issued its opinion in In re Deepwater Horizon, and settled the debate concerning whether a company’s insurance policies stood alone or were married to and dependent upon an insured’s limited obligation in a separate contract to insure and indemnify a third party. Specifically, the court found that Transocean’s $750 million primary and excess insurance policies did not offer unrestricted coverage to BP as an additional insured, but instead incorporated and were bound by the
limitations placed on Transocean’s liability under the parties’ drilling contract (the “Drilling Contract”).

The Supreme Court of New Jersey recently issued an important pair of decisions for policyholders with bad faith claims against their first-party insurance companies in Badiali v.

But, the court also opened the door to modify this standard in the Badiali decision by recognizing the relevance of the actual claims handling in a particular case.

More importantly, it offers critical guidance to all industries about what regulators will consider adequate precautions and preparation in this area.

Cyber Security and Insurance Coverage Protection: The Perfect Time for an Audit by Lynda Bennett
2014 ended almost the same way that it began for most companies – having concerns about cyber security and hackers. At the beginning of the year, the news cycle was focused on breaches that took place in the consumer product space as Target, Michael’s, Neiman Marcus, and Home Depot worked fast and furious to address breaches that led to concerns about a massive amount of credit card information possibly being “in the open.” Later in the year, we learned that corporate giants like JPMorgan Chase and Apple were not immune from cyber security breaches as still more personally identifiable information and very personal photographs were released into the public domain. Finally, as 2014 drew to a close, the entertainment industry was further rocked by the cyber-attack on Sony Corp., which led to even broader concerns about national security and terrorist threats.

N.J. Trial Court Applies "Named Storm" Deductible in Superstorm Sandy Case
A New Jersey trial court has ruled that the “Named Storm” deductible applied to an insured’s claim in a Superstorm Sandy case.
The Case:
Wakefern Food Corporation, a buying cooperative of owners/operators of Shoprite and PriceRite supermarkets that purchased commercial property insurance from Lexington Insurance Company, claimed over $50 million in losses from Superstorm Sandy. Lexington paid about $22 million, and Wakefern sued the insurer.
Wakefern asserted that Superstorm Sandy was not a “Named Storm” by definition when it hit New Jersey and its losses had occurred. It asserted that when the storm hit New Jersey at approximately 8:00 p.m. EDT on October 29, 2012, the storm was not declared by the National Weather Service to be a hurricane, typhoon, tropical cyclone, or tropical depression, as its policy defined Named Storm. Wakefern pointed out that as of 5:00 p.m. EDT on October 29, 2012,
the storm already was “expected to transition into a frontal or wintertime low pressure system shortly.” Wakefern
contended that by 7:00 p.m. EDT, the National Weather Service’s National Hurricane Center (“NHC”) had declared the storm a “Post-Tropical Cyclone.” Wakefern argued that a “Post-Tropical Cyclone” was defined in the glossary of NHC terms as its own weather event and that a Post-Tropical Cyclone was a “former tropical cyclone” not a “Hurricane, Typhoon, Tropical Cyclone, Tropical Storm or Tropical Depression.”

In Wilson Mutual Ins. Co. v. Robert Falk and Jane Falk,[1] and Preisler v.

being applied as fertilizer. The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected categorically defining manure and septage as
“pollutants.” Instead, the court determined that such fertilizing excrement unambiguously falls within the applicable policy’s definition of “pollutants” once the manure and/or septage has contaminated a water supply.

Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.
