A First-Party Claimant Can Also Be a Third-Party Claimant in Colorado

Originally published by Brandee Bower.

Ski resorts are starting to open in Colorado so I thought you would appreciate hearing about a case that is currently pending in snow country. The case is National Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh, PA v. Intrawest ULC et al.,1 and involves a coverage dispute.
Intrawest develops ski resorts, and entered into an indemnity agreement with National Union. National Union contends there was a $5,000,000 limit on coverage for all projects. Federal Insurance Company issued a CGL policy to Intrawest, which National Union claims is excess coverage. National Union Fire Insurance Co. and Continental Casualty Co. issued CGL policies to Engelberth Construction for projects developed by Intrawest. Several lawsuits have been brought against Intrawest for construction defects. National Union filed a declaratory judgment action and several entities moved to intervene. Namely, Intrawest’s subsidiaries have sued National Union for denying coverage of the homeowners’ claims in bad faith.

One claim…
