Every policyholder in every industry should make sure that it in
fact has obtained insurance covering the actual, specific risks
presented by its line of business.
That point is the critical one driven home by the U.S. District
Court for the Central District of California in United
Specialty Insurance Company v. E-Cig Vapor Emporium, LLC, No.
EDCV 18-0002 JGB (SHKx), 2018 WL 5098859 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 15, 2018).
While applicable to any business in any industry, this lesson is
particularly valuable to businesses in certain newer industries
– such as the vaping, e-cigarette, and cannabis industries
– where the market for insurance may be more limited and the
coverages offered may be more restrictive.
