Syllabus

<p>Insurance — Insurance against liability for damages — Employees.</p> <p>An insurance company agreed to indemnify the insured for the term of one year “against loss from common law or statutory liability for damages on account of bodily injuries, fatal or non-fatal, accidentally suffered within the period of this policy by any employee or employees of the insured.” The policy further provided that, “No action will lie against the company as respects any loss under this policy unless it shall be brought by the assured himself to reimburse him for loss actually sustained and paid by him in satisfaction of a judgment within sixty days from the date of such judgment and after trial of the issue. . . . This policy shall only cover losses sustained by and liability for any claims against the assured as a result of the risk specified in the contract or contracts hereto attached.” Held, that interest could be collected on the amount of the policy only from the time the insured actually paid a judgment recovered by an employee for personal injuries.</p>
