United Fire & Casualty Ins. Co. v. Thompson, No. 13-2352 (8th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseUnited Fire sought a declaratory judgment that an insurance policy it issued to Rose did not provide coverage to Wayne Rockett, a supervisory level employee of Rose. The court affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment to United Fire, concluding that the term "directors" in the insurance policy unambiguously provided coverage only to Rose's actual board of directors and not to employees such as Rockett.
Court Description: Civil case - Insurance. Where a supervisory employee was involved in an accident which injured a worker, the employer's commercial general liability insurance policy covering acts by its "executive officers or directors" did not cover the supervisor's actions.
