Duty To Defend

 

This course discusses the legal obligation for insurance companies to defend a policyholder in the event a claim is made, or a lawsuit is filed.  In most cases, Insurance companies will defend a lawsuit that is of a civil action. There are exceptions to the rules.  The course discusses those exceptions. Example, would an insurance company defend a convicted hit/ run driver if a civil lawsuit was also filed for a wrongful death due to the hit/run driver’s action?      Call ICC for course availability 1 (316) 683-0170.
