How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that a lack of notice until after a default judgment and the insured’s complete failure to cooperate prejudiced the insurer as a matter of law
- explaining that despite actual notice of suit, insurer was prejudiced by insured’s failure to comply with policy’s notice provision because only notice that insured has been served gives rise to the insurer’s duty to defend
- upholding, as a defense to coverage, insured’s duty to notify the insurer of a pending suit and cooperate in the defense of that suit
