Using Extrinsic Evidence to Determine the Duty to Defend: Eight Corners, Four Corners, or No Corners?
Ashley Gilmore, Erik Tomberg, Blake Crawford
This session will explore the various frameworks used to determine when a liability insurer has a duty to defend its insured and whether extrinsic information outside the underlying pleading can be considered. The team of Wilson Elser attorneys will explain the general rules as well as certain recognized exceptions to those rules, and address the specific considerations in five key jurisdictions: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas. The session will also address the potential risks of a denial of the duty to defend.
