Insurance NewsNet quoted from a Wilson Elser Insight by Chicago partners Michael Duffy and Michael O’Malley in a recent article, “Illinois Court Defies Federal Ruling in Freeing Insurers from Privacy Coverage,” in its December 21, 2023, posting. "The Seventh Circuit held a broad version of the Violation-of-Statutes exclusion is ambiguous because it appears to nullify significant portions of coverage provided under 'personal and advertising injury,'" the Wilson Elser article said. "Because ambiguities are construed in favor of the insured, the Court held the BIPA claims at least potentially fall within coverage, thus triggering the duty to defend."
