An excess insurance carrier involved in a multimillion-dollar settlement stemming from a 1998 Montgomery County service station gasoline leak has a duty to defend a pipe manufacturer involved in the settlement on subsequent cross-claims, the state Superior Court has ruled.
On March 5, a three-judge Superior Court panel ruled that the excess carrier, National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, has a duty to defend Titeflex Corp. The decision in Titeflex v. National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh affirmed a 2012 Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas order.
