Lindsey King v. Old Republic Insurance Company

Mr. Cherry defended a multi-line insurer against wrongful death claims.  Mr. Cherry established in an early summary judgment that there was no basis for coverage of an experimental aircraft that produced two deaths, excluding any duty to defend or indemnify. A quick strike at the beginning of very sympathetic wrongful death claims extricated the insurer form any obligation to defend or indemnify on an aviation liability policy in the early stages of protracted litigation. Mr. Cherry established that parol evidence and subjective beliefs cannot be used to contradict or extend the provisions of the policy which extricated the insurer form any obligation to defend or indemnify on an aviation liability policy.
