Description
CONNOR, Justice. OPINION. The question presented by appeal is whether claims for professional services rendered to insolvent insurance companies are compensable from the coffers of the Alaska Insurance Guaranty Association. The appellants are law firms, attorneys, and insurance claims adjusters who were retained by Medallion Insurance Company and General Insurance Company to adjust, settle and defend claims and lawsuits against policyholders of automobile liability insurance. In the fall of 1975, the insurance companies were deemed to be insolvent and their instate assets were placed in receivership. 1 Shortly thereafter, appellants filed claim with the Alaska Insurance Guaranty Association, the appellee, for payment of the outstand 2 outstanding sums 2 to them by the now insolvent insurance for services rendered prior to and, in some cases extending beyond the determination of insolvency.
