This issue of the Insurance Coverage Law Report highlights the breadth of insurance coverage law – and of FC&S Legal: The Insurance Coverage Law Information Center, the new and comprehensive insurance coverage law online portal from Summit Business Media, through its flagship brand, National Underwriter.

In this issue, the Insurance Coverage Law Report – the monthly print (and online) publication that complements FC&S Legal – contains in-depth feature articles exploring how cyber insurance can mitigate losses from cyber attacks, by Rene L. Siemens and David L. Beck, and on state investigations and settlements of unclaimed life insurance benefits, by Mary Jane Wilson-Bilik.

As usual, this issue of the Insurance Coverage Law Report also contains selected analysis, explanation, and discussion of insurance coverage law developments and news about our industry from FC&S Legal. The insurance coverage law cases discussed and examined here and in FC&S Legal – including from federal circuit courts of appeals and the highest state courts – arise under a range of insurance policies and subjects:

  • Commercial General Liability;
  • Homeowner's Insurance;
  • Inland Marine;
  • Advertising Injury;
  • Automobile Insurance;
  • Commercial Auto;
  • Life Insurance;
  • Bad Faith; and
  • Professional Liability Insurance.

We believe that if you are an attorney practicing insurance coverage law who represents policyholders or insurance companies, or if you are an insurance company or corporate executive who wants to keep apprised of the very latest in insurance coverage law, you should read the Insurance Coverage Law Report – and you should subscribe to FC&S Legal: The Insurance Coverage Law Information Center.

Enjoy the issue!
