This IRMI resource explains the legal theories and policy form nuances 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

Transfer.

Construction includes an appendix, which annually updates the
