The term “trigger of coverage” means “what event must occur for potential coverage to commence under the terms of the insurance policy” and “what must take place within the policy’s effective dates for the potential of coverage to be ‘triggered.'” [In Re Feature Realty Litig., 468 F. Supp.2d 1287, 1295, n.2 (E.D. Wash. 2006)]


The word “trigger”, as a term of art, means the event that activates coverage under one or more insurance policies. The trigger of coverage problem arises in determining exactly what must take place within the policy’s effective dates to trigger coverage.


ZALMA OPINION


Every claims person must be aware of the the trigger of coverage so that he or she can thoroughly investigate a property claim. Without knowledge of the various triggers of coverage and how the trigger applies to the fact of the loss being investigated the claims person will fail in his or her obligation to thoroughly investigate a claim and treat the insured fairly and in good faith.
