Killer B I went back and looked at your profile. I deal with about ten contract cases a week that are sent to arbitration. This thread is exactly what I find happens in almost all legal arguements. No matter how clearly the language is written there is invariably someone that will look at the same words and get a different opinion of it. You read the language one way and if I am understanding your point of view you read it another. I will gladly admit your experience in this issue. I think that you have probably had occasions where you look at a claim one way and a different adjuster sees it a different way. I know in the past I have been in a situation where I had a claim on my motorcycle from where it was stolen. I moved before I had a chance to finish processing the claim. When i got to the new location the adjuster there interpreted things different and paid a lot more on the claim than the original adjuster. The words may not be esoteric but I am sure that you know that context is everything. My opinion and I will be happy to admit it could be wrong is that you seem to be taking the one sentence out of context. You are using it as a stand alone definition of the whole clause. On a fairly regular basis I hear arbitrators talking about people doing that when they rule. I am going to have an attorney that deals with insurance claims on a daily basis look at this thread and see how they intrepet that clause.
