Excess Insurer Defeats Vizio's Suit Over $17M Privacy Deal
Law360 (May 5, 2021, 4:16 PM EDT) -- A California federal judge has freed Arch Insurance Co. from having to cover Vizio Inc.'s $17 million settlement in multidistrict litigation accusing the TV maker of selling data without consumers' consent, finding the excess insurer has no duty to provide a defense.
U.S. District Judge Otis Dalino Wright on Monday granted Arch's motion to dismiss Vizio's suit seeking coverage for its settlement in a 2018 MDL accusing it of selling data on consumers' viewing habits, but he gave Vizio 21 days to amend its complaint.
