View a sample of this title using the ReadNow feature
Construction Insurance: Coverages and Disputes focuses on the three most prevalent forms of insurance used in the construction field: the Comprehensive General Liability (CGL) policy, the builder's risk policy, and the architect/engineer's liability policy. Construction Insurance attempts to synthesize the wide-ranging decisions and statutes interpreting insurance policies used in the construction industry, acknowledging that the diversity among jurisdictions in the treatment of insurance contracts is an accepted part of the field. The chapters discussing the three major types of insurance policies used in the construction field are intended to provide a comprehensive survey of the principles and case law relating specifically to those policies.
