legal action against insurer
A provision in most standard insurance coverage forms that imposes certain
limitations on an insured's right to sue the insurer for enforcement of the
policy. Sometimes entitled "Legal Action against Us," such provisions typically
require that the insured meet all its own obligations under the policy before
bringing suit in contract. Some legal action against insurer clauses in liability
policies also attempt to limit the prerogatives of third-party beneficiaries,
by stipulating that nothing in the policy gives any third party a right to sue
the insurer for damages being sought against an insured.
