Tred R. Eyerly | Insurance Law Hawaii<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The court found there was no coverage for the insureds’ alleged negligent failure to construct a building. Evanston Ins. Co. v. DCM Contracting, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 63977 (N.D. Ga. Feb. 28, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Turning Point Church sued DCM Contracting for faulty workmanship on a construction project. Turning Point sent a demand letter to DCM on August 18, 2017 and filed suit in December. Evanston did not receive notice of Turning Point’s claims and the lawsuit until May 15, 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Evanston filed suit for a declaratory judgment and moved for summary judgment. The court first considered the late notice. The policy required notice “as soon as practicable” DCM was also required to provide copies of demands, notices, or legal papers to Evanston. Here, DCM did not give notice to Evanston until nine months after receipt of Turning Point’s demand. A phone communication with DCM’s agent between August 2017 and May 2018 was insufficient. DCM provided no documents, including the summons and complaint, to the agent. DCM waited five months to forward the underlying lawsuit. This was a breach of the policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There was also no occurrence. The underlying lawsuit sought damages to repair DCM’s work and economic losses. Any claims of economic loss by Turning Point did not constitute property damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Accordingly, summary judgment was awarded to Evanston. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
