3890 REVIEW DENIED If facts known to an insurer at the time a claim was tendered for defense established lack of coverage, the insurer was justified in denying coverage and did not have a duty to continue investigating to determine whether there was coverage; information that did not become available to the insurer until after the underlying claim had been resolved did not impose on it an obligation to defend or indemnify the insured.CitationSAFECO v PARKS (Household Member) 122 CA4 779 [See: Horace Mann Ins v Barbara B 4 C4 1076, T/AT 5/93; Kibbee v Blue Ridge Ins 69 CA4 53, T/AT 2/99; National Auto v Underwood 9 CA4 31, T/AT 11/92]
