New York Court of Appeals

Raymond Corporation, Respondents v. National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., Appellant

June 29, 20055 N.Y.3d 157

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the vendor's endorsement in the commercial general liability policy covers only bodily injury claims arising out of defects in the manufacturer's product, not injuries caused by the vendor's independent negligence. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Supreme Court's summary judgment in favor of the insurer.
