How courts have described this case

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

  • stating an insurer must defend its insured even where a complaint does not allege facts sufficient to succeed on the merits because merely implicating a cause of action covered by an insurance policy triggers the duty to defend
