M.D. PA — Contractual Claims Are Not Occurrences.

In the case of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. v. CPB International, Inc., PICS Case No. 07-1964, the W.D. PA, ruled that “claims sounding in contract do not arise from an “occurrence,” which means an “accident.”” The court therefore sided with the insurer and held that there was no coverage under the CGL policy for the defective nutritional supplement claims against the defendant.
