    Product Description

    The Massachusetts Liability Insurance Manual was produced through the collaborative efforts of more than two dozen leading practitioners. It addresses not only the most important types of liability policies (such as automobile, homeowner's, commercial general liability, professional liability, environmental, and employment practices), but also a series of issues that are essential to understanding how these policies work in practice, such as what duties are imposed on insurance companies, policyholders, and agents and brokers; how declaratory judgments are used to resolve conflicts over coverage; and what ethical responsibilities are imposed on attorneys involved in an insurance defense case. The Massachusetts Liability Insurance Manual is your essential guide to one of the most challenging and pervasive areas of Massachusetts practice!
