Rob asked:
A defendant is being sued in federal court and contends that his insurance company should be paying for the litigation as well as any potential award. What is the approriate action against the insurance company? Do you file an interpleader action to join the insurance company to the existing case, do you seek a declaratory judgment against the insurer in a separate action, or is there a third option I’m not considering?
