For a city that's hit <br /> with this kind of litigation, the legal costs can be a significant financlal burden. For this reason, <br /> the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust(LMCIT)developed a specialized approach to <br /> cover this type of litigation for Minnesota cities. <br /> Compared to conventional liability insurance, a key difference of the LMCIT coverage is that <br /> litigation relating to land use regulation, development or redevelopment, franchising, or enterprise <br /> operations is covered regardless of whether the litigation includes a claim for damages. Keep in <br /> mind this memo is only a summary of the coverage -the actual terms and conditions are defined <br /> by the LMCIT liability coverage document, and any specific coverage issues will be determined <br /> based on language in the coverage document. <br /> What types of litigation are covered? <br /> LMCIT provides coverage for four broad classes of Learn More <br /> litigation: <br /> LMCIT's coverage for land use, <br /> 1.
