Brown Sims Shareholder Clay Wilkerson and Vice President and Shareholder Michael Williams Win Summary Judgment in Insurance Coverage Lawsuit
The firm filed a declaratory judgment action on behalf of its insurance carrier client seeking a declaration of no coverage for a lawsuit against the client’s insureds. The lawsuit involved claims for injury, neglect, and death of multiple show horses that were boarded on the insureds’ ranch. A Texas federal district court ruled in favor of the firm’s client, holding that the insurance carrier had no duty to defend the insureds because the claims against them did not constitute “bodily injury,” and because the “care, custody, or control” exclusion in the insurance policies at issue applied.
