Robert J. McKennon was recently extensively quoted in an article which appeared on October 23, 2013 in the highly respected legal news service Law360 entitled “California Court Releases Insurers From Strict Duty To Settle” discussing when an insurer’s duty to settle begins under the case of Reid v. Mercury Insurance Company. The Law360 article concludes with McKennon’s recommendation that claimants ask insurers for information on policy limits and express an openness to settling within policy limits. “That’s going to be critical in order for plaintiffs to set up and activate the duty to settle,” McKennon said.
