NJ Court Clarifies Policyholders' Right to Recover Out-of-State Coverage Counsel Fees

Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co., __ N.J. __, 2010 N.J. LEXIS 700 (July 27, 2010), a policyholder's right to recover counsel fees extends even to those fees incurred defending against an insurer-initiated, out-of-state declaratory judgment action.
