HDI-Gerling America Ins. v. Taylor Morrison Services, Inc., No. 10-14637 (11th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseThis diversity action asked whether the property damage alleged in a California class action lawsuit brought by purchasers of homes built by Morrison was caused by an "occurrence" and therefore covered under the terms of Morrison's CGL policy with Gerling. Central to the case are questions of Georgia law, among them whether property damage can constitute an "occurrence" under a CGL policy where its effects are not felt on "other property." As this question is determinative of the case, and the single Supreme Court of Georgia case touching upon the matter failed to answer it, the court certified these questions for resolution.
