Event Date(s): 04-10-2008 
Event Location(s): Chicago 
Presenter(s): Bill Barker 
Event Host(s): DRI's Insurance Law Committee 
Event Description: Sonnenschein partner Bill Barker presents "Beyond the Fourth Corner -- Extrinsic Evidence and the Duty to Defend" at the DRI Insurance Coverage & Claims Institute in Chicago.  This presentation will take place from 8:25 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. on April 10th.

Presentation synopsis:

As more and more states require insurers to look beyond the “four corners” of the complaint in analyzing whether there is a duty to defend, what problems and opportunities do unpleaded facts present? What type of investigation must an insurer conduct for facts that might create a “potential” for coverage? How should insurers reconcile unpleaded facts that contradict the lawsuit’s allegations?

The Insurance Coverage and Claims Institute is a unique opportunity for insurance professionals and the attorneys who advise them to learn the latest developments and issues in insurance coverage and claims handling. The seminar is ideal for either the seasoned veteran or someone new to coverage. This year, attendees are able to select from two tracks of presentations focusing on different issues. On the afternoon proceding the main conference, there is a special two-hour tutorial addressing the building blocks of insurance coverage litigation.
