Insurer-insured communications not necessarily privileged
Insurers typically ask their insureds to provide information about litigation. Insureds do so because they, and their insurers, assume that there is a common interest protecting the confidentiality of that information.

Every day in litigation, insurers typically ask their insureds to provide litigation budgets, liability assessments, and other information about litigation against their insureds. Insureds often provide this information because it has been customary to do so over the years and because they, and their insurers, assume that there is a common interest that protects the confidentiality of that information. However, that is not always the case.
