A liability insurer’s duty to defend a third-party lawsuit in Florida is triggered when the complaint against the insured alleges facts that potentially bring the action within the policy’s coverage grant. Like courts in other jurisdictions, Florida courts generally apply the eight corners rule that restricts the court’s analysis of the issue to the terms in the four corners of the policy and the allegations inside the four corners of the complaint.

On March 3, 2021, the Delaware Supreme Court announced in RSUI Indemnity Co. v. Dole Food Company, Inc., et al., 248 A.3d 887 (Del. 2021) (“Dole”), that Delaware public policy permits indemnity insurance coverage for liability arising from fraud. Therefore, in Delaware, unscrupulous executives found to have lied to investors may potentially avoid direct responsibility for any damages caused and simply pass the buck for any judgment or settlement to the company’s Director’s & Officer’s (“D&O”) insurer.

Article 25-05-2021
Professional liability policies generally insure policyholders for risks created by their professional negligence and, like many other liability insurance products, are often drafted so as not to cover losses arising from the insured’s intentional conduct. This is commonly achieved by including a negligence trigger in the insuring grant, such as a requirement that coverage will only be provided for losses arising from the insured’s negligent acts, errors, or omissions.

On April 21, 2021, the Supreme Court of New Jersey issued its opinion in Huggins v. Aquilar, No. 084200, 2021 WL 1555277, --- A.3d --- (N.J. Apr. 21, 2021). The Court affirmed the trial court’s decision to strike a provision in the garage policy issued by Federal Insurance Company (“Federal”) that fully eliminated coverage to permissive users of the car dealership’s vehicles that carried at least $15,000 in their own personal auto insurance. The Court explained that such “shifting of responsibility from owner to driver does not fulfill the public policy of the compulsory insurance requirement and its related permissive user doctrine.”
