• noting that title insurance is aimed at risks in existence on the date the policy is issued rather future risks
• observing that title insurance “is fundamentally different from general liability insurance” because it is aimed “at risks that are already in existence on the date the policy is issued” rather than at future risks
• explaining that “title insurance is fundamentally different from general lability insurance in that it is aimed at risks that are already in existence on the date the policy is issued rather than at future risks”
• explaining that Illinois follows the “complete defense” rule, “which generally requires an insurer to provide a complete defense in a suit or action against its insured even if only one or some of the claims are potentially covered”
• declining to apply the complete defense rule to a title insurance dispute under Illinois law
• “The complete-defense rule reflects and enforces the broad defense promise in standard general liability policies and makes sense given the comprehensive coverage provided by this kind of insurance.”
