Commercial Crime Insurance Coverage: Second Edition

Commercial Crime Insurance Coverage, Second Edition is written by seasoned claims professionals and attorneys with extensive experience handling claims against commercial crime policies in their various forms, both standard and manuscripted. The book addresses the various issues and questions that can arise in the investigation, litigation, and resolution of a claim against a commercial crime policy, such as the difference between "employee dishonesty" and "employee theft", the compensability of third-party losses, the application of conditions and exclusions, automatic termination of coverage based upon prior dishonesty, and numerous other key issues. This second edition updates the initial edition to address changes in policy language as forms have evolved over the decade since the first edition was published; changes in the law, as reflected by reported decisions discussed in the text; and changes in coverage including, in particular, a discussion of the relatively new "social engineering fraud" coverage, which was a nascent coverage at the time of the initial edition.
