Areas of Practice: Arson and Fraud
In many states, in order to establish a prima facie case of arson for the purpose of denying coverage, an insurer must prove that: (1) the loss was intentionally caused; (2) that there was motive and opportunity by the insured for causing the loss; and (3) that there is either direct evidence or adequate circumstantial evidence to infer that the insured was guilty of misconduct in the origin of the loss.
