Supreme Court of Delaware
In Re: CVS Opioid Insurance Litigation
August 18, 2025
Summary
The Court affirmed summary judgment denying CVS insurance coverage for opioid-related lawsuits brought by governments, hospitals, medical providers, and third-party payors. It held that the policies and pharmacist-related endorsements still required damages because of specific and individualized bodily injury or property damage, which the underlying complaints did not allege. The Court also held that the absence of any unresolved factual issue made summary judgment appropriate on indemnity-only policies.
