View "Where is the Pro Rata V. All Sums Debate Today?"

Hugh Scott and Lauren Riley wrote “Where is the Pro Rata V. All Sums Debate Today?” in Insurance Law360, where they discuss the pro rata and all sums approaches to allocating defense costs in long-tail insurance claims, and talk about the recently filed case between Continental Insurance Company and Eckel Industries, which serves as an example of a debate on which approach should be used.  This also appeared in the Appellate, Environmental and Product Liability sections of Law360.
