How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that policy language that extended coverage to newly acquired cars, only if the insured reported the car, was not ambiguous: the insured had a duty to report a new car to the insurer before coverage would apply
- “If the language of an insurance policy is clear, it must be construed to mean what it says and nothing more. Courts have no power to create insurance coverage, if it does not otherwise exist by the terms of the policy.” (internal citations omitted)
