How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reasoning that where the insured failed to comply with the express terms of the insurance contract, it is that failure that triggers a coverage denial and precipitates the coverage litigation, not the insurer's conduct
• no precedent for the position that settlement for less than the tortfeasor's policy limits raises a presumption of full compensation
• insurers cannot diminish statutorily mandated coverage through language in the insurance policy
