Colorado Supreme Court holds Umbrella/Excess Insurer is not required to “Drop Down” and provide First-Dollar coverage when Primary Insurer becomes insolvent

On September 21, 2026, the Colorado Supreme Court issued its opinion in A.R. Wilfley & Sons, Inc. v. National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, 2026 CO 64, answering a certified question from the United States District Court for the District of Colorado concerning whether insolvency by the primary insurer shifts an otherwise covered occurrence in the “Not covered” category, thereby requiring the umbrella/excess carrier to step into the shoes of the insolvent insurer and provide first-dollar indemnity and defense costs. The Court answered that question no, determining instead that “Not covered,” as used in those policies, speaks to the scope of coverage, not collectability of payment.
