MONTANA GUIDE 07
Montana Insurance Policy Interpretation, Exclusions & Coverage Disputes
Coverage disputes are resolved from the policy as a whole, the applicable Montana statutes, and controlling case law. The inquiry starts with the insuring agreement and definitions before moving to exclusions, conditions, endorsements, and limitations.
- Identify the coverage grant.
- Determine who qualifies as an insured.
- Read definitions together with the operative coverage.
- Identify every exclusion and exception to the exclusion.
- Check endorsements that amend the base form.
- Compare the policy wording to mandatory Montana insurance law.
A declarations page alone is not the insurance contract. Obtain the complete policy form and every endorsement in effect on the date of loss.
