United States Sixth Circuit

A judgment holding that an insurance company was not liable, beyond the terms of its original insurance contract with a trucking company, for an underlying personal injury judgment is affirmed where a federally-prescribed form endorsement attached to a trucking company-s insurance contract, interpreted in light of the policies for which it was created, did not require that defendant-insurer pay more than what was required under the original umbrella insurance contract.
