Radiator Specialty Company v. Arrowood Indemnity Company: A Look at Trigger, Allocation, Exhaustion and More


Radiator Specialty Company involved multiple liability insurers with primary, umbrella and excess policies over decades. The questions on appeal asked — when the same loss spans multiple years — which policy years are triggered, how do parties allocate coverage across multiple years, and what primary policies must exhaust before umbrella/excess coverage responds?

The speaker, who represents the plaintiff in that lawsuit, provides insights on the Supreme Court's decision, as well as trial court legal and evidentiary rulings that were not appealed, which could impact coverage disputes in this state.
