Interstate Fire and Casualty Co. v. Axis Surplus I
Appellant Interstate Fire and Casualty Company (Interstate) brought this action against respondent Axis Surplus Insurance Company (Axis), seeking reimbursement for expenses Interstate expended in defending non-party Pulte Home Corporation (Pulte) in a separate lawsuit. Interstate alleged that Axis had a duty to defend Pulte in the underlying action because Pulte is an additional insured under insurance policies Axis issued to non-party Gothic Landscaping, Inc. (Gothic). The trial court entered judgment in favor of Axis after granting Axis’s motion for summary judgment and denying Interstate’s motion for summary adjudication. On appeal, Interstate argues the trial court erred in determining Pulte is not an additional insured under Axis’s policies. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
