Insurance Coverage for Subterranean Structure Failure and Subsidence
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute concerned the interpretation of insurance policy language regarding coverage for losses arising from the failure of certain subterranean structures. The court reasoned that the unambiguous language of the policy, specifically the exclusion for damage to earth or land and the definition of "structure," clearly limited coverage to the specifically enumerated components of the system, thus excluding the broader, naturally occurring earth supporting the system from the definition of a covered structure, and affirming the denial of coverage for the resulting subsidence damage.
