Supreme Court of Connecticut
Johnson v. Connecticut INS. Guar. Ass'n
November 8, 2011302 Conn. 639
Summary
The court held that the medical malpractice policy's paramedical exclusion did not unambiguously exclude coverage for the claims against the medical practice based solely on a nurse practitioner's alleged negligence. Because the declarations page listed paramedical coverage as "Included" without identifying a specific premium or explaining what was included, the ambiguity had to be construed in favor of coverage. The court affirmed the trial court's judgment for the plaintiffs on that basis, although it used reasoning different from the trial court's.
