Mealey's (April 20, 2020, 3:44 PM EDT) -- TRENTON, N.J. — A trial court erred in finding that no coverage is owed for a fuel leak because it was not sudden and accidental as required under the policy at issue, the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division said March 19 after determining that the insurer failed to present any evidence in support of its argument that the leak was caused by negligence (Sallie Schoneboom v. Allstate New Jersey Insurance Co., et al., No. A-1472-18T2, N.J. Super., App. Div.,  2020 N.J. Super. Unpub. LEXIS 547)....
