From the supplier: Dow Corning’s victory in a product liability insurance case linked to faulty breast implants is by no means assured, according to lawyers for the property-casualty insurance companies that lost the case. At the heart of the case, Dow Corning v. Hartford Accident and Indemnity, was a disputed $400 million in insurance coverage. Lawyers for Hartford Accident and 29 other insurers claim that the jury did not understand the issues at hand and intimate that an appeal is being contemplated. Lawyers for Dow Corning said that the verdict is a warning to insurers to not deny legitimate claims.

From the supplier: Insurers are opposing a product-liability reform measure that would transfer fault to the workers’ compensation system. Product makers would be able to claim that injuries were caused by employers or co-employees, not by the products being used. Evidence of employer or co-employee fault would be used to reduce the amount of damages assessed against product makers and against insurers’ subrogation liens. Insurers fear the latter would be eliminated entirely.

From the supplier: A professional liability insurance policy for lead liability risks is being marketed to property owners by Home Insurance Co. Home’s policy is the only lead liability insurance coverage being marketed on a national basis and answers the need for such a product now that lead liability increasingly is being excluded from corporate general liability policies. Insurance brokers report that the demand for the policy has been great since the coverage was put on the market in late 1994.

Product Description
Product Description
This guide was written for the astute executive, CEO, CFO, Controller, COO, VP, Board Member or Business Owner, who appreciates the complexity and importance of insurance issues and who wants to realize all the profit-boosting potential the right decisions afford the company. In too many situations insurance decisions are made piecemeal – over time – at varying levels of corporate responsibility – without an understanding of needs and coverage, costs and benefits – with little or no sense of how the varieties of insurance-related decisions intersect or interact. The objective of the book is to inform the executive in often-overlooked opportunities and share insights and strategies for maximizing the benefits of a comprehensive, well-considered insurance plan. The payoff for a company realized through the application of these strategies include, but are not limited to, the reduction of management time and stress, increased flexibility, reduced risk, cost savings and enhance overall profitability. The information and ideas contained in the guide are based on more-than-a-quarter-century of experience providing insurance advisory and transaction advice and services to public, private, not-for-profit, domestic and international organizations. The book offers a structured approach to understanding the magnitude and import of issues associated with varied insurance transactions written in a down-to-earth manner.

From the supplier: The Illinois Supreme Court ruled 6-1 that the absolute pollution exclusion in comprehensive general liability (CGL) policies does not apply to carbon monoxide poisoning lawsuits. The ruling in the case of American States Insurance Co v. Harvey Koloms means American States is liable for damages caused by carbon monoxide poisoning from a leaking furnace because it was non-industrial in nature.
