Employers Mutual Casualty Company<\/em>, 2022 U.S. App. LEXIS 795 (5th Cir. Jan. 11, 2022), finding that an insurer had a duty to defend its insured in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myconstructionexpert.com\/blog\/construction-defects-when-they-appear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">construction defect<\/a> case where the underlying complaint alleged damage to property beyond the product and work of the insured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siplast, Inc. (Siplast) had contracted with the Archdiocese of New York (the Archdiocese) to install a roof membrane system at a high school in the Bronx, New York.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *1. As part of the contract, Siplast guaranteed that the roof membrane system would remain in a watertight condition for at least twenty years.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *2. If it did not, Siplast would repair the roof membrane system at its own expense.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several years after the installation, the Archdiocese observed water damage in the ceiling tiles at the high school.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;The Archdiocese contacted Siplast, who attempted to repair the damage and prevent further leaks; however, leaks and resultant damage continued to occur.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;Siplast subsequently refused to make any more improvements to the roof.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Archdiocese retained a consultant, who noted significant issues with both the workmanship and the materials used in the roof membrane system.&nbsp;<em>Id.&nbsp;<\/em>at *2-3. The consultant determined that the only way to remediate the issues would be to replace the failed membrane with a new one.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Archdiocese sued Siplast, which tendered its defense to Employers Mutual Casualty Company (EMCC) under several commercial general liability policies that Siplast had purchased from EMCC.\u00a0<em>Id.<\/em>\u00a0at *6. EMCC denied Siplast\u2019s claim pursuant to,\u00a0<em>inter alia<\/em>, the policies\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myconstructionexpert.com\/blog\/product-liability-and-defective-products\/\">Your Product<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myconstructionexpert.com\/blog\/your-work-exclusion-bars-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Your Work<\/a> Exclusion.\u201d\u00a0<em>Id.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siplast filed a declaratory judgment action, seeking a declaration that it was entitled to coverage under the policies.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at 6. Both parties moved for summary judgment, and the District Court ruled in favor of the carrier, finding that \u2013 while the underlying complaint did allege \u201cproperty damage\u201d that was caused by an \u201coccurrence\u201d \u2013 the alleged damage nevertheless fit within the policies\u2019 \u201cYour Product\/Your Work Exclusion.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *6-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fifth Circuit, applying Texas law, reversed. Relying on&nbsp;<em>Wilshire Insurance Company v. RJT Construction, LLC<\/em>, 581 F.3d 222 (5th Cir. 2009), and&nbsp;<em>Building Specialties, Incorporated v. Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company<\/em>, 712 F. Supp. 2d 628 (S.D. Tex. 2010), the Fifth Circuit explained that if a \u201ccomplaint alleges damage to and seeks damages for any property that is not the insured\u2019s product or directly subject to the insured\u2019s work,\u201d then the \u201cclaim falls outside of a \u2018your product\/your work\u2019 exclusion\u201d and the insurer has a duty to defend.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Id.&nbsp;<\/em>at *12. If, however, a complaint \u201csolely alleges facts and damage to the insured\u2019s own products, or solely seeks to recover the costs to repair the insured\u2019s work, then it is covered by a \u2018your product\/your work\u2019 exclusion and the duty to defend remains dormant.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fifth Circuit specifically disagreed with the District Court\u2019s finding that \u2013 while the underlying complaint mentioned damage to property other than Siplast\u2019s roofing products \u2013 coverage was not owed as the Archdiocese did not actually make a claim to recover for any such damage.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *13-14. Such a reading, explained the Fifth Circuit, was \u201coverly narrow\u201d where the factual allegations raised by the underlying complaint \u201crepeatedly point to damage to property other than Siplast\u2019s roof membrane system.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *14. For example, the underlying complaint \u201calleges that there was \u2018water damage in the ceiling tiles throughout the [school] after a rainstorm\u2019 and that Siplast recommended the Archdiocese \u2018contact a designated Siplast roofing contractor to address the&nbsp;<em>damage<\/em>&nbsp;and leak.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;(emphasis in original).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the District Court, such factual allegations create inferences that: (1) the Archdiocese asserted their cause of action based not only on damage to the roof membrane, but also on property damage to other parts of the school; and (2) that the water damage to non-roof-membrane property was caused by the failure of Siplast\u2019s faulty roof membrane system.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *15. Because the underlying complaint alleged damage to property beyond the product and work of the insured, the damages fell outside of the \u201cYour Product\/Your Work Exclusion\u201d such that EMCC owed a duty to defend.&nbsp;<em>Id.<\/em>&nbsp;at *16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fifth Circuit also affirmed the District Court\u2019s finding that the underlying complaint sought damages for \u201cproperty damage\u201d caused by an \u201coccurrence\u201d \u2013 defined, in part, as an \u201caccident\u201d \u2013 as: (1) the complaint contained factual allegations that Siplast\u2019s negligence led to the failure of the roof membrane, which caused damage to both the roof itself and to the school as a whole; and (2) there were no allegations that the failure of the roof and attendant damage were intended by Siplast or the \u2018natural and expected result\u2019 of Siplast\u2019s actions.\u00a0<em>Id.\u00a0<\/em>at *20-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When one of your cases is in need of a construction expert, estimates, insurance appraisal or umpire services in defect or insurance disputes &#8211; please call Advise &amp; Consult, Inc. at 888.684.8305, or email <a href=\"mailto:experts@adviseandconsult.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experts@adviseandconsult.net<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony L.
