Wiley Rein: When Other Insurance Provisions Conflict, Standard Escape Provisions Will Not Prevail over Excess Provisions | Practical Law

This Law Firm Publication by Wiley Rein LLP discusses Great Am. Assur. Co. v. Am. Cas. Co. of Reading, Pa., (6th Cir. 2013). In this case before the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the court held that, under Kentucky law, when other insurance provisions in two policies conflict, an "excess" other insurance provision will prevail over an "escape" other insurance provision that excludes coverage solely on the basis of the existence of other insurance. The publication discusses the case's factual background and the court's ultimate legal holdings.
