Completed-Work Exclusion Does Not Bar Coverage, 11th Circuit Affirms

Mealey's (April 12, 2017, 4:14 PM EDT) -- ATLANTA — The 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on April 4 affirmed a lower federal court’s finding that an insurance policy’s completed-work exclusion does not preclude the insured from coverage for an underlying lawsuit arising from an accident at a railroad crossing, concluding that the lawsuit is another “classic case of the insurer requesting relief from the consequences of the inartfully drafted, yet plain, terms of its insurance policy” (Liberty Surplus Insurance Corp. v. Norfolk Southern Railway Co., No. 16-14767, 11th Cir., 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 5763)....
