Potomac Insurance Company of Illinois v. Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association Insurance Company (A-2-12; 070756)
OneBeacon’s contribution claim was valid because an insurer may assert, against a co-insurer, a claim for defense costs incurred in litigation arising from property damage manifested over a period of several years, during which the policyholder is insured by successive carriers. The release negotiated between Aristone and PMA had no bearing on OneBeacon’s contribution claim against PMA because OneBeacon was not a party to the release. 9-16-13
