What changed
Zurich American Insurance Company and multiple Lloyd's Underwriter Syndicates filed an insurance coverage dispute against Chevron Corporation and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in the Northern District of California. The case involves multiple expert witnesses whose testimony is being challenged via Daubert motions, including David Perry, Dennis C. Marvin, Ian Ralby, Simon Le Mare, and Alan Eyre. Chevron filed a motion for partial summary judgment while Zurich and Lloyd's filed their own motions for summary judgment.
Affected parties in similar insurance coverage disputes involving maritime or political risk claims should monitor Daubert rulings in this case, as expert testimony exclusions in complex insurance litigation can affect how courts evaluate coverage disputes. The July 14, 2026 motion hearing will address both Daubert challenges and summary judgment motions, which may narrow the factual issues for trial.
