4820 A policy that imposed on an insurer a duty to pay costs taxed against the insured was broad enough to include costs of a settlement; in an action under the Mobilehome Residency Law (Civil Code section 798.85), this includes attorney fees incurred by plaintiff; every insurer on the risk may be required to contribute its share of costs and fees, including those incurred for the insured's independent Cumis counsel, even though not all the insurers had conflicts requiring independent counsel.CitationEMPLOYERS MUTUAL v PHILADELPHIA INDEMNITY (Insurer Contribution) 169 CA4 340 [See: CivC 798.85, 2860; SD Federal v Cumis 162 CA3 358; Prichard v Liberty Mutual 84 CA4 890, T/AT 12/00; Centennial v US Fire 88 CA4 105, T/AT 5/01]
