United States Ninth Circuit
Sentry Select Ins. v. Royal Ins. Co. of Am., 05-35323, 05-35354
In a suit seeking indemnification from defendant-insurer after settlement of a Jones Act suit brought by an injured employee, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where, although the uberrimae fidei doctrine does not apply to bar indemnification from defendant, defendant was not obligated to provide indemnity for the injured seaman's injuries because the accident at issue was not an event covered by the Marine Coverage Endorsement or the commercial catastrophe liability insurance policy.
