     CHAPTER 2. MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIALLY INSURED LIABILITY CLAIMS

                                     TOPIC  1. DEFENSE

§ 21. Insurer Recoupment of the Costs of Defense

S.D.Ind.2017. Cit. and quot. in sup. (citing § 21 of D.D. 2015). Insurer brought an action against insured
and driver of insured's vehicle, seeking a declaration that several policy exclusions precluded any duty
to defend or provide coverage to insured and driver in an underlying lawsuit arising from a single car
accident that injured a passenger in the car. This court granted summary judgment for insured, holding
that insurer could not claim recoupment of costs incurred in defending insured in the underlying lawsuit,
and denied summary judgment for insurer with respect to driver, holding that genuine issues of material
fact existed as to whether passenger was an employee of insured. In addressing insurer's claim for
reimbursement of defense costs for insured, the court quoted Restatement of the Law of Liability
Insurance § 21 (D.D. 2015), which provided that an insurer could not seek recoupment of defense costs
from an insured unless otherwise stated in the policy. Selective Insurance Company of America v.
Smiley Body Shop, Inc., 260 F.Supp.3d 1023, 1033.
