KIDD, Justice.
In the summer of 1987, following a heavy rain storm, a defective retaining wall collapsed, and the resulting landslide substantially damaged the home of Lee and Sharon Gros (“Appellees”). Appellees turned to their homeowner’s insurance carrier, State Farm Fire & Casualty Company (“State Farm”), for compensation. Relying on several exclusions within the insurance policy, State Farm denied all liability. Based on the jury’s verdict, the district court rendered judgment for Appel-lees. State Farm and its agent Linda Goss (Agent “Goss”) bring this appeal.
