American Cas. Co. of Reading, Pa. v. Heary

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• interpreting Virginia law to incorporate the “cause approach” because of “the time-honored acceptance of the [Commonwealth’s] Bench and Bar of the cause approach.”
• finding a single occurrence because a single act of negligence caused three distinct single-car collisions
• rejecting the effect theory because it would grant “unlimited coverage to any insured involved in-an accident” and “it would be impossible for the insurance industry to set a premium on an unlimited potential obligation”
• automobile accident caused chain reaction of accidents — single occurrence
