Indian Harbor Ins. v. Hartford Casualty
This action concerns the priority of defense obligations between two insurers with respect to an underlying trademark infringement action against their mutual insured, Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (Skechers). Appellant, Hartford Casualty Insurance Company (Hartford), denied coverage under a commercial general liability insurance policy it issued to Skechers and refused to defend Skechers in the underlying action. Hartford contends the judgment must be reversed because it owed no duty to defend Skechers in the underlying action, and because equitable principles preclude the trial court from imposing on Hartford the entire burden of defending Skechers. Court affirm the judgment.
