Colorado Insurance Policy Interpretation, Exclusions & Coverage Disputes

Coverage disputes require reading the insurance contract as a whole, beginning with the insuring agreement and definitions and then testing exclusions, conditions, limitations and endorsements against Colorado statutes and controlling case law.

  • Identify the coverage grant and insured status.
  • Read definitions together with the operative coverage.
  • Review exclusions, exceptions, conditions and endorsements.
  • Check whether mandatory Colorado statutory provisions affect or supersede policy language.
