How amended allegations in underlying lawsuits can trigger a duty to defend even when coverage seems barred.

Join Michelle L. Burton, Esq., Managing Partner, at Burton Kelley LLP and Tae Andrews, Senior Counsel, at Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP in this CLE insurance webinar as they examine how amended complaints, reinterpreted facts, and detailed policy language can turn a denied claim into one that requires coverage.
