Insuring Defective Construction Claims Over the Last 50 Years: The Song Remains the Same?
The application of liability insurance to construction defect claims has long been one of the most complex and disputed coverage issues in the United States. Liability policies are designed with an attempt to cover fortuitous losses related to defective work while excluding the insured’s so-called business risks. The problem is that there is much gray area between the two which has led to literally thousands of coverage disputes between insurers and their insureds. In this webinar, Patrick J. Wielinski, author of Insurance for Defective Construction, will trace the past trends that have gotten the industry to the present day, and how those trends have contributed to current attempts at addressing defective construction coverage.

When an accident occurs, gray areas often arise as to whether the truck was being operated on behalf of the motor carrier or the owner-operator.
