7 Legend has it that underwriters in the London market used the term ‘umbrella’ as shorthand in trans-Atlantic cabling. The term now generally refers to a broad form of excess catastrophe liability insurance that will, as its hallmark feature, ‘drop down’ in place of underlying primary insurance when the primary insurance does not apply to cover a loss. For additional background on CGL primary, umbrella, and excess insurance, see Insurance Coverage Litigation Ch. 13. 8 The rating bureaus were the predecessors of ISO and included the Insurance Rating Board (‘IRB’), Mutual Insurance Rating Board (‘MIRB’), and National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters (‘NBCU’).
In those early cases and in the cases that followed, insurance companies on the risk early in a period of continuing injury over a number of years would argue that ‘occurrence’ policies are triggered only at time of ‘manifestation’ of injury. Insurance companies on the risk later in that period would argue that ‘occurrence’ policies were triggered only at time of first exposure. 17 For example, an asbestosis sufferer might have been exposed to harmful asbestos conditions for a period of 20 years prior to manifestation of the disease in year 21.
A number of courts adopted the exposure theory, or some variant of it. 20 The principal decisions on trigger and allocation in the late 1970s and early 1980s, prior to the first Bermuda Form, were as follows: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) Porter v American Optical Corp, No. 75-2202, 1977 US Dist LEXIS 12735 (ED La 1977): Federal trial court applied a manifestation-only trigger of coverage for asbestos bodily injury claims. Insurance Co of N Am v Forty-Eight Insulations, Inc, 451 F Supp 1230 (ED Mich 1978): Federal trial court applied exposure theory of coverage for asbestos bodily injury claims, and apportioned liability on a pro-rata basis on the basis of the relative lengths of their respective coverage.
