New York Court of Appeals
Worth Constr. v. Admiral Ins.
May 1, 200810 N.Y.3d 411
Summary
The Court held that Farm Family Insurance was not obligated to defend or indemnify Worth Construction because the injury did not arise out of Pacific's operations, interpreting the additional insured endorsement’s "arising out of" language to require a causal relationship. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Supreme Court’s summary‑judgment order in favor of the insurer.
