Judge: Subcontractor Partially Liable For Negligence, Not Breach Of Contract

Mealey's (March 16, 2018, 2:15 PM EDT) -- FORT PIERCE, Fla. — A federal judge in Florida on March 13 partially granted and partially denied cross-motions for summary judgment between two insurers and a subcontractor in a dispute over coverage for an accident at a convenience store in which a man was injured while walking on an access ramp. The judge ruled that a subcontractor is partially liable for negligence but also ruled that the subcontractor and its insurer were not liable for breach of contract (Great Divide Insurance Company v. Amerisure Insurance Company, et al., No. 17-14271, S.D. Fla.; 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 41443)....
