Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company v. Rose Wadford Hunter, Jane Doe, by and Through Her Mother And…

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court answered a certified question, holding that the South Carolina Court of Appeals’ decision in Harvey does not change the district court’s conclusion that the Allstate homeowner’s policy unambiguously denies coverage to Rose Hunter because Joseph Hunter’s intentional sexual abuse bars coverage, and that no public policy requires coverage. The Court affirmed the lower court’s denial of coverage.
