As vehicles advance toward autonomy, insurers will face tougher questions about accident responsibility, according to a panel discussion at the 2024 Complex Claims and Litigation Forum.
The Arizona Court of Appeals held that an office worker's death from COVID-19 is compensable under workers' compensation as long as the statutory requirements are met.
The court ruled on whether there was any physical damage to the properties and if activities designed to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus were 'repairs'.
The insurance policy phrase "direct physical loss of or damage to" has been in the news the past few years thanks to BI cases stemming from the pandemic.
