Penn-Star Insurance Company v. Latonya J. Thompson, Steven Thompson, Christopher S. Partridge, Carol Partridge and…

Summary

The Court held that the commercial general liability policy did not cover injuries caused when an employee used his employer’s forklift after work to tow his personal truck down a highway. The activity was unrelated to the employer’s welding and cutting operations, and permission or any employment-related benefit did not bring it within coverage. The Court reversed, rendered judgment for the insurer, and remanded for consideration of the remaining issues.
