State Auto Ins. Companies vs. Gordon Construction, Inc., et al

Case Number
M1999-00785-COA-R3-CV
This is an insurance coverage case. A commercial general liability insurer filed suit for declaratory judgment to determine whether it had a duty to defend the insured, a construction company. The underlying lawsuit against the insured alleged breach of contract and breach of express and implied warranties in failing to perform work in a good and workmanlike manner. The trial court granted a motion for summary judgment to the insurer, finding that the insurance policy did not require it to defend against the suit. The insured appeals, and we affirm, finding that there was no "occurrence" under the terms of the insurance policy.
