The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) filed a motion for permission to file an amicus brief with the Rhode Island District Court to challenge the potential expansion of the state’s statute dealing with an insurer’s inspection immunity. Rhode Island law immunizes insurance companies from claims relating to inspections conducted in connection with the issuance of insurance policies. Essex Insurance Company, the defendant, issued a policy of general liability insurance to owners of The Station nightclub. The plaintiffs’ complaint alleges that Essex negligently conducted an inspection in connection with the issuance of the commercial insurance policy to the owners of the nightclub. The association’s motion was filed to support the defendant, Essex Insurance Company.
