INSURANCE COVERAGE
The coverage of claims under various types of insurance policies represents an expanding area of law. Courts have been called upon with increasing frequency to determine the scope of policy coverage. Policies issued many years ago which were once thought to have expired have been reexamined for potential coverage of current claims.
