An engineering firm’s directors and officers insurer told a Nebraska federal court on Monday that it should not be liable for coverage in a settled lawsuit that accused the firm of conspiring to poach a competitor’s employee. The insurer’s argument was presented to the court, maintaining that the firm’s actions did not fall under the coverage provided by the insurance policy. The details of the settlement and the specific allegations made against the engineering firm were not disclosed. However, the insurer’s stance suggests that the firm’s actions may have been considered outside the scope of the insurance coverage. The case highlights the complexities of insurance coverage in corporate disputes.
