U.S. Fire Ins. v. Arrowood Indemnity
Appellant United States Fire Insurance Company (U.S. Fire) paid various costs in defending and settling seven lawsuits alleging asbestos-related injuries. It brought this case to recover a portion of these costs from respondents Arrowood Indemnity Company and United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company (USF&G). Following a four-day bench trial, the trial court agreed that respondents were responsible for a portion of the costs and calculated their share to be $177,715.10. In this appeal, U.S. Fire maintains that this amount was too low and that the trial court misapplied principles of insurance law by limiting respondents’ liability on the basis of contractual indemnity provisions. We disagree and affirm.
