A commentary on insurance coverage issues in Hawaii and beyond
In yet another of the collapse cases being litigated in state and federal courts in Connecticut, the federal district court denied the insurer's motion to dismiss. Rosenberger v. Amica Mut. Ins. Co., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 95345 (D. Conn. June 6, 2018).
The insureds had policies with Amica since 1989.
Connecticut courts have been swamped with cases seeking coverage for collapse caused by faulty cement. In a recent decision, the federal district court asked the Connecticut Supreme Court to determine what constitutes substantial impairment of structural integrity for applying the collapse provision of a policy. Karas v. Liberty Ins. Corp., 2018 US.
