United States Seventh Circuit

In a breach of contract suit alleging that defendant-insurer failed to defend plaintiff-insured when he was sued over a construction contract, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where plaintiff's liability policy covered only "property damage" resulting from an "occurrence," and therefore did not obligate defendant to defend plaintiff when he was sued for breach of contract for allegedly failing to complete construction work.
