United States Eleventh Circuit


Garcia v. Federal Ins. Co., 05-14720

In insurance coverage suit alleging that defendant's homeowner's policy extended coverage to plaintiff as the insured's employee, dismissal of complaint is affirmed as the policy is not ambiguous, and coverage for additional insureds other than the named insured is limited to instances in which the additional insured is vicariously liable for acts of the named insured. Plaintiff was sued for her own negligence, not the insured's negligence, and is thus not covered under the policy.
