Abstract generation in progress

An Ohio appellate court ruled against Travelers in a $6 million coverage dispute with Copeland Corporation regarding asbestos claims. The court determined that Ohio law governs the policies and that each individual asbestos exposure constitutes a separate occurrence, rather than a single event as argued by Travelers. This decision significantly increases Copeland’s potential coverage from $3 million to up to $9 million across three policies.
