Description:
This Lunch & Learn is intended to be a primer for young attorneys fresh out of law school and more experienced attorneys who are new to handling auto cases. One doesn't need to be a master coverage attorney to handle bodily-injury automobile defense matters involving liability and UIM coverage, but a basic understanding of automobile policy construction, coverage analysis, and various Washington statutes and administrative code provisions that affect coverage and claim handling is a necessary component of any auto litigator’s toolbox.
It begins with a discussion of declaration pages and policy forms, analyze coverage using a mnemonic specific to automobile policies (policy/car/insured/exclusions/other insurance), and touch upon Washington's UIM and PIP statutes and Washington Administrative Code basics in the context of handling first-party versus third-party matters.
Presenters:
