Insurance companies often prefer to litigate insurance coverage issues in federal courts. There are a number of reasons for this. First, well-founded or not, there is a general perception that the federal bench is more accustomed to addressing the complex legal issues that can sometimes arise in insurance coverage disputes. Second, while insurance coverage litigation is often adjudicated on dispositive motions, where there is a factual dispute to be resolved, the federal courts offer a more diverse jury pool, an important factor where the state court jury pool is perceived as unfriendly to insurers. Finally, litigation in federal court insulates an insurer from any perceived local bias in favor of a local insured.
