Despite recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662 (2009), and Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007), that might suggest otherwise, it still appears possible to have a relatively bare-bones insurance coverage complaint withstand an insurer’s motion to dismiss.
