Liberty Mutual Insurance Company v. Connecticut Indemnity Company, Larry Weicht, Elizabeth Grant, and Cynthia Jessup
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided June 7, 1995No. 94-3007PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
Larry Weicht is a truck driver who owns and operates his own semi-tractor. Connecticut Indemnity insures Weicht against most “bobtail” accidents, accidents that occur when Weicht drives his semi-tractor with no trailer and is not working for anyone else. We decide in this diversity case whether Connecticut Indemnity’s bobtail policy covers an accident Weicht had on the way to resume delivering a trader for Gra-Bell Truck Line Inc., Liberty Mutual’s insured. If we decide that it does, we must decide whether that coverage is primary to Liberty Mutual’s coverage.
