# Settling Contribution Claims Without Jeopardizing Your Insurance Coverage

  Fall 2009

In-House Defense Quarterly

 

 

 

 

 

 

The article examined the impact of the decision in the environmental coverage case, *Riggins, Inc. v. Hartford Ins. Co.*, in which the insurance carriers tentatively denied coverage and sought to derail a third-party settlement. The article provided practical advice for policyholders seeking to enforce their rights against insurers who refuse to consent to a proposed settlement. The article also discussed the purpose and application of a ​“consent to settle” and subrogation provisions.
