West Virginia highest court has ruled that an insurer did not waive its policy's vacancy provision by continuing to renew the policy after it became aware, at the time of a vandalism claim, that the building was vacant.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has affirmed a district court's judgment in favor of an insurance company in a subrogation action holding a marina and commercial ship repair business liable for the total loss of a dinner cruise boat during Superstorm Sandy.
When an insurer denied liability for a bad faith lawsuit, the plaintiff argued that the denial waived the attorney-client privilege over the claim files.
