The ABA, Section of Litigation, Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee's annual insurance seminar will be held again this year in Tucson from March 4-6, 2010. As always, this year's conference will offer a number of informative, cutting edge sessions on a variety of insurance-related topics. Participants from across the country with varying perspectives on insurance coverage will attend. The conference agenda is here.
I am on a panel for a session entitled, "Who Pulled the Trigger? Applying Manifestation or Injury-in Fact Trigger to First Party Property Policy." We will address a growing trend in which the injury-in-fact trigger, instead of the manifestation trigger, is applied to continuous property damage occurring over several policy periods. Deciding which trigger is applicable is important, of course, where there is continuing property damage. Use of the injury-in-fact trigger may invoke several policies for the years during which the damage occurred.
Hope to see you in Tucson.
