Fiscus Motor Freight, Inc. v. Universal Security Insurance
Court of Appeals of Washington

1Opinion of the CourtThompson, C.J.
—In this action for declaratory judgment, American Economy Insurance Company and Universal Security Insurance Company contest their duties related to a personal injury lawsuit against their insured, Fiscus Motor Freight, Inc. American contends its policy does not apply because of the application of its "other insurance" provision. On cross appeal, Universal argues its policy does not apply because the accident did not arise out of the use of an insured vehicle. We decide both issues in favor of American, and remand the case to the superior court.
