Mealey's (March 10, 2017, 12:33 PM EST) -- CHICAGO — An insurer has no duty to indemnify a settlement of a faulty workmanship claim against a subcontractor, the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed March 8, because claims of an insured’s defective work resulting in damage to its own work do not constitute an “occurrence” caused by “property damage” (Allied Property & Casualty Insurance Co., et al. v. Metro North Condominium Association, No. 16-1868, 7th Cir.; 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 4107)....
