Scandals: Insurance Uncovered is back in 2025, kicking off the year with a deep dive into some of the most misunderstood—and litigated—exclusions in general liability insurance: J, K, and L.

What do these cryptic letters really mean in a CGL policy? And more importantly, what coverage nightmares do they create for policyholders? Join hosts Amy and Theresa as they dissect these exclusions, uncover real-life implications, and explore why courts across the country are still fighting over them.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What J, K, and L actually exclude—and why they matter so much in construction insurance
  • How ‘that particular part’ creates coverage confusion and what it means in practice
  • The ongoing legal battles over these exclusions—with a special focus on New York case law
  • How courts interpret ‘occurrence’ and the impact on coverage for faulty work
  • Why general contractors should care about the ‘subcontractor exception’ in Exclusion
  • Strategies to mitigate risk—including endorsements that can prevent coverage denials

Whether you're an insurance professional, contractor, or legal expert, this episode will sharpen your understanding of these infamous exclusions and their impact on real-world claims.
