Abstract

This article examines public policy that forbids the use of insurance to indemnify willful wrongdoing by an insured. The article notes that this policy against insuring the intentional wrongdoer is expressed in casualty insurance policies in which the basic insuring agreements restrict coverage to an "occurrence" which is defined in the policies as an "accident." The article discusses the importance of knowing how to plead and develop the facts so that the claim comes within the coverage of an "occurrence" so as to avoid the intentional acts exclusion of the policy.
