Preau v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., No. 10-30816 (5th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseThis case involved a coverage dispute between St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Company ("St. Paul") and its insured where the insured wrote a recommendation letter for a former employee who later injured a patient. St. Paul appealed the district court's judgment, in which the court concluded that the commercial general liability policy issued by St. Paul covered the insured's claim for the damages he was required to pay in a misrepresentation lawsuit. The court held that there was no coverage under the policy for the amounts at issue and therefore, reversed the district court's judgment and remanded for entry of judgment in favor of St. Paul.
