i would say the biggest challenge
00:06
is getting the courts to understand that
00:09
these policies as written
00:11
were ambiguous if a policy is ambiguous
00:14
in terms of whether they in fact define
00:18
the terms of a policy or not
00:20
or adequately define the terms of a
00:21
policy
00:23
if they are ambiguous that
00:26
benefit will fall on the side of the
00:28
policy holder
00:29
that is that policyholder will win that
00:31
case these policies some are
00:33
100 200 300 page policies and getting
00:36
the court to understand the
00:38
intricacies in these policies has not
00:41
been easy
00:42
it’s easy to say well we don’t think
00:43
this is physical loss or physical damage
00:45
to throw a case out
00:47
it’s different to really truly get a
00:49
court to understand
00:51
the ambiguities in nearly every clause
00:54
in these policies
