Abstract

This article sets out the law defining the insurer's duty to defend under liability policies in Montana and the insured's rights when the insurer refuses defense. It then specifically focuses on the insured's right to settle the case and assign the insured's rights against the insurer to the claimant in consideration for a covenant not to execute on the insured's assets.
