The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey v. RLI Insurance Company, et al., N.J. Superior Court, Hudson County, Docket No. L-797-18
Following a bench trial, Ford Marrin obtained a judgment declaring that its client, RLI Insurance Company, did not owe a duty to defend or indemnify a putative additional insured under an insurance policy issued to a construction manager working at the Harrison PATH station. The court held that RLI’s Professional Services Exclusion barred coverage for negligence claims involving a failure to warn where the policy’s definition of “professional services” included the same terminology utilized in the underlying complaint.
Partners Joseph D’Ambrosio and John A. Mattoon worked on this matter.
