- Authors
Kelly, Kevin
- Abstract
The article discusses the manifestation rule under Florida insurance law as of July 2013, including information on the rule's restriction of liability coverage to the insurance policy that is in effect at the time when hidden damage is discovered. It states that contractors commonly make liability claims when they are sued for construction defects such as water leaks. Property damage, tropical storms, and commercial general liability (CGL) insurance are mentioned, along with a discussion of the origins of manifestation rules in U.S. federal courts.
