Jeffrey J. Vita recently spoke at the Associated General Contractors of America Risk Management Conference on the topic of the priority of insurance coverage in construcion losses, in Naples, FL. This seminar focused on the concepts of horizontal and vertical exhaustion while explaining the significance of the order in which primary and excess policies will respond to claims. The presentation addressed the various exhaustion theories being applied by the courts and examined how and why the courts have applied each theory.
