Mediating a Third-Party Claim Where the Insured and the Insurer Are at Odds

The panel will discuss situations where: the insurer asserts that it does not cover all claims and wants the insured to monetarily participate in the settlement; the insurer states that there are strong legal arguments to be made and wants the litigation to proceed, but the insured does not; the insured wants to settle the claim late in the mediation day at the negotiated amount, but the insurer insists that it is too high a price and refuses to go along; the insurer wants to settle the claim but the insured objects due to their own business reasons.
