Bituminous Casualty Corp. v. Maxey

How courts have described this case

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

• “[C]onstruing the term ‘any’ the same as the word ‘the’ in an exclusion clause when an insurance policy contains a separation of insureds or severability of interests clause would require a tortured reading of the terms of the policy.”
• “Terms in contracts are given their plain, ordinary, and generally accepted meaning unless the contract itself shows that particular definitions are used to replace that meaning.”
• “Here, nothing in the CGL policy indicates that ‘any insured’ is be construed in the text of the policy differently from the way ‘an insured’ is defined in the declarations; therefore, we find that they should be construed the same.”
