I had the privilege of addressing a group of senior insurance company executives last month in New York. The topic was my 2014 Top Ten Coverage Cases of the Year article. One of the cases that I discussed was the California Supreme Court’s in Hartford v. Swift Distribution -- involving coverage for intellectual property claims. I must have said the words Hartford and Swift a half a dozen times during this part of the talk.
So, needless to say, it was amusing when I was approached afterwards by a man who introduced himself to me as Chris Swift, from, get ready, The Hartford. Naturally we had a good laugh about this coincidence. Chris Swift is indeed from The Hartford – he is the company’s Chairman of the Board and CEO. Chris was a good sport – agreeing to take a selfie with me for Coverage Opinions. Next year’s Top 10 – Greenberg Construction Co. v. Starr Indemnity & Liability Co. |
