Sutton v. Interinsurance Exchange
The question presented in this case is whether an intentional act by an insured, taken in self-defense, may qualify as an accident for purposes of an insurance policy written to provide defense and indemnification for the insured. In a nonpublished opinion, court concluded the trial court erred in ruling that it cannot, and reversed summary judgment in favor of the insurer. The California Supreme Court granted respondents petition for review and subsequently transferred the matter back to this court with directions to vacate our decision and reconsider the cause in light of Delgado v. Interinsurance Exchange of Automobile Club of Southern California (2009) 47 Cal.4th 302 (Delgado). Court vacated the decision. Now, after considering supplemental briefs from the parties, Court affirm the judgment
