Pekin Insurance v. Dial
Appellate Court of Illinois
Decided December 16, 2004No. 5—03—0646PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hopkins
Cynthia Cain filed a sexual assault action against Dial Real Estate and Investments and David Dial (Dial), and Dial tendered the defense of Cain’s action to his insurer, Pekin Insurance Company (Pekin). Pekin filed this action seeking a declaration that it had no duty to defend Dial in the Cain action. The trial court found that Pekin had a duty to defend Dial and that Pekin breached its duty to defend.
On appeal, Pekin argues that the trial court erred in finding that Cain’s sexual assault allegations were covered by Pekin’s insurance policy.
