Select Insurance Co. has "had enough"

The Joplin Globe, reported Saturday, February 9, 2008, that Select Insurance Company has filed a federal suit Case No. 08-5013-CV-SW-JCE asking to be released from paying for the company's legal defense in a class action lawsuit. In their complaint, attorneys for the insurance company cite 37 reasons to declare no coverage for RES and Sanders, including that the policies exclude coverage for “bodily injury or property damage” which would not have occurred except for the “actual, alleged release or escape of pollutants.” The suit continues that coverage is barred if the insured company or authorized employee failed to disclose that prior to the policy period, that bodily injury or property damage had occurred, in whole or in part.
