Nossaman Partner Joan Cotkin is quoted in the Law360 article, "Cyberprivacy Risks Demand A New Kind Of Insurance." The article discusses how in response to several recent high-profile electronic data security breaches new insurance products may be needed to cover the cost of defending against related litigation.
Ms. Cotkin is quoted in the article saying, "it's possible that [general liability] policies might be broad enough to sweep in emotional distress or consequential damages," and added, "if you can characterize it as something that's tangible property, it's possible to characterize it as property damage."
