Traub Lieberman Partners Lauren S. Curtis and Sarah A. Wilkins and Associate Veronica Guerra recently won a motion for summary judgment in favor of an insurer in a matter brought before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. In the underlying lawsuit, the insured, a property management company, was being sued in a wrongful death action arising from a shooting that occurred in the common area of a multi-family residential property managed by the insured. The insurer agreed to provide a defense to its insured in the wrongful death action, subject to a reservation of rights based on the policy’s Conditional Coverage Endorsement, which contains various conditions the insured must meet in order for coverage to be triggered under the policy. One of those conditions requires the insured to ensure that a property owner’s insurance policy must not contain any restrictions for assault and battery (“A&B”) exposures, including a sublimit for A&B claims. In this case, the property owner’s insurance policy did indeed contain a sublimit for A&B claims.
