Selling Personal Property at a Garage Sale is not an Accident
January 2, 2015In this insurance coverage lawsuit, the Court of Appeals held that the insurer had no duty to defend the appellant in the lawsuit brought against them for conversion under when the appellant sold their home’s former (foreclosed-upon) owner’s personal property at a garage sale. According to the Court, the removal and purported sale of the personal property was “intentional and deliberate,” and thus failed to qualify as an “occurrence” covered by the policy.
