Analyzed Insurance

There’s no shortage of insurance law treatises on the market today, but Randy Maniloff’s and Jeff Stempel’s recent work, General Liability Insurance Coverage—Key Issues in Every State, stands apart.  This 495-page paperback (yes, paperback!) is a practical mix of fundamentals (duty to defend, right to counsel, attorneys fees, punitive damages) and more advanced issues(recoupment, faulty workmanship, latent injury, bad faith).  The comprehensive, issue-by-issue analyses offered by these very knowledgeable and accomplished authors is balanced and thoughtful, and refreshingly easy to read.  A 50-state survey of nearly every issue provides immediate access to case law in all jurisdictions.  This is a worthy (and very portable) reference for anyone in the insurance law field.  And it’s affordable–A 20% discount is available by using promo code 29471 in the box in the upper right corner (expires 12/31/11)!
