From the supplier: The liability of insurers has been increased as a result of rulings from cases involving the liability of corporate directors and officers linked with the liability of uninsured corporations. The 9th Circuit Court has ruled against insurers in cases between Nordstrom Inc. versus Chubb & Son Inc, case 54 F.3d 1424, and in Safeway Stores Inc. versus National Union Fire Insurance Co, case 64 F.3d 1282, holding the insurers liable for total costs. Insurers should revise their policies with clearer, more definitive language to minimize collateral risk arising from such lawsuits.
