Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided February 3, 2012No. 10-41012PublishedCited by 18 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

CARL E. STEWART, Circuit Judge:

Two insurers dispute whether their respective insurance policies require them to defend the insured against allegations regarding an accidental death. Both insurers sought a declaratory judgment from the district court that their policies did not cover the underlying lawsuit. After the district court ruled that each insurer must provide primary coverage for the accident, both insurers appealed. We AFFIRM the district court’s judgment.
