OPINION
LACAGNINA, Judge.
The issue presented here is whether, in the absence of a trial to determine and settle facts and multiple theories of liability, an insurer who defends under a reservation of rights because some, but not all of the alleged claims were covered under the policy, can settle the claims against the insured and then seek indemnification from other carriers for the entire settlement amounts, alleging the settled claims were not covered by its policy. We hold it cannot do so, but it can require indemnity for a share of the settlement amounts.
