IRMI Publishes New 3rd Edition of Insurance for Defective Construction
Dallas, TX, October 19, 2012—International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), has published the third edition of Insurance for Defective Construction.
This IRMI resource explains the legal theories and policy form nuances to give its readers an advantage in applying liability policy language to complex construction defect claims and to develop winning coverage arguments.
Insurance for Defective Construction was written by Patrick J. Wielinski, an attorney in the Dallas-Fort Worth office of Cokinos, Bosien & Young. Mr. Wielinski focuses his practice on insurance coverage, and he regularly lectures to construction, insurance, and legal groups on insurance coverage and risk management issues. He is a coauthor of the IRMI reference Contractual Risk Transfer.
The online version of Insurance for Defective Construction includes an appendix, which annually updates the prevailing law in each state. Online access is available via IRMI Online or ReferenceConnect™. The print version has over 100 more pages than the second edition, for a total of 580 pages, but does not include the prevailing law appendix.
"The applicability of liability insurance to construction defect claims is probably the most litigated coverage issue of the modern era," said IRMI President and CEO Jack P. Gibson, CPCU, CRIS, ARM, "and this landmark work explores the ins and outs of all the arguments and the major case law. It is a must read for anyone who buys, sells, or underwrites construction insurance or who becomes involved in construction claims. "
