§ 3937.21.
No insurance company issuing a policy of automobile or motor vehicle liability insurance
shall be relieved of its contractual obligation to defend its insured against any
claim on the basis of coverage for such claim being provided by any other policy,
unless the insurer of such other policy has assumed and is performing the obligation
to provide such defense. If the company pays to or on behalf of the insured any amount later determined to
be due from another insurer it shall be subrogated to all rights of the insured against
such insurer. Any disputes between insurers regarding the obligation to defend shall be settled
without expense to the insured by agreement between the insurers involved or, if they
fail to agree, by arbitration or a declaratory judgment proceeding.
