Notwithstanding California’s reputation as being friendly to policyholders, 2025 was marked by multiple decisions favoring insurers. This included cases barring coverage for damages arising from molestation, “compensated carrying,” and “going and coming” to work. However, there were also several decisions favoring policyholders, including important cases finding coverage for smoke damage from wildfires, as well as a title insurance decision which strongly reaffirmed the breadth of the duty to defend.
