Remus v. Scottsdale Insurance Co.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 23, 2003 · Green, Schwartz, Wells
843 So. 2d 349; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 5678; 2003 WL 1916810 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Remus v. Scottsdale Insurance Co.

Opinion of the Court

SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

Upon the holding that there was no coverage as a matter of law because the failure of the defendant-insured to secure worker’s compensation coverage, which was the basis of its asserted liability to the personal injury plaintiff, was not an “occurrence” as required by its liability policy, the summary judgment in favor of the insurer is affirmed. See American States Ins. Co. v. Pioneer Elec. Co., 85 F.Supp.2d 1337 (S.D.Fla. 2000); Stein-Brief Group, Inc. v. Home Indem. Co., 65 Cal.App.4th 364, 76 Cal.Rptr.2d 3 (1998); Reliance Ins. Co. v. Nick J. Giannini, Inc., 158 Ill.App.3d 657, 110 Ill.Dec. 578, 511 N.E.2d 755 (1987), appeal denied, 117 Ill.2d 553, 115 Ill.Dec. 409, 517 N.E.2d 1095 (1987).
