View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court properly excluded a police officer's accident report during a trial of a personal injury action arising from an automobile accident, as the trial court's finding that the officer's report was untrustworthy due to the police officer's lack of experience and training in accident investigation was both tenable and reasonable.

Merchs. Mut. Ins. Co. v. Laighton Homes, LLC, No. 2005-230, SUPREME COURT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, May 16, 2006, Opinion Issued
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a subcontractor's commercial general liability policy contained clear and unambiguous exclusions for bodily injury damages that arose out of an injured employee's work, the exclusions unambiguously applied to a general contractor's indemnity claims; therefore, the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to the general contractor.
