Respondent TIG Insurance Company (TIG) issued a policy to Ward that ran from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001. Under the terms of the settlement, Ward contributed its $50,000 deductible under the TIG Policy, and TIG paid an additional $422,000 to fully resolve the White Knight Claim. The January 2008 e-mail did not request that TIG defend, indemnify or otherwise assist Ward in connection with the 2005 Claims. The January 2008 e-mail also did not advise TIG that the White Knight Claim was part of the USF&G Action.
