SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS definition

SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS means two or more CLAIMS that are based on or arise out of facts, practices, circumstances, situations, transactions, occurrences, COVERED ACTIVITIES, damages, liability, or the relationships of the people or entities involved (including clients, claimants, attorneys, and/or other advisors) that are logically or causally connected or linked or share a common bond or nexus.

Examples of SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS in a sentence

  • Limits of Coverage or CLAIMS EXPENSE ALLOWANCES in multiple individual Plans do not stack for any CLAIMS that are “related.” As the definition of SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS and its Comments and Examples demonstrate, the term “related” has a broad meaning when determining the number of Limits of Coverage and CLAIMS EXPENSE ALLOWANCES potentially available.

  • Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS are brought against two or more separate LAW ENTITIES, each of which requests and is entitled to separate defense counsel, the PLF will make one CLAIMS EXPENSE ALLOWANCE available to each of the separate LAW ENTITIES requesting a separate allowance.

  • If this Plan and one or more other Plans issued by the PLF apply to the SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS, then regardless of the number of claimants, clients, COVERED PARTIES, or LAW ENTITIES involved, only one Limit of Coverage and one CLAIMS EXPENSE ALLOWANCE will apply.

  • To aid in interpretation, the following are examples of SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS: Example No. 1: Attorney A is an associate in a firm and commits malpractice.

  • The Plan grants a limited exception to the one-limit rule for SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS.

  • Effective January 1, 2005, the PLF has created a limited exception to the one-limit rule for SAME OR RELATED CLAIMS.
