Chubb, USF&G dodge continuous trigger liability in Kiwanis abuse ruling

US District Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright granted only a sliver of what plaintiffs sought in their motion for partial summary judgment. She ruled that Guy Cornwell, who served as interim executive director of the Kiwanis Vocational Home in the late 1980s, had coverage under primary Chubb policies from November 1988 to November 1991. The coverage, however, applies only to Kiwanis activities or activities he performed on behalf of any named insured under those policies. Everything else the plaintiffs requested was denied, including coverage for co-defendant Charles McCarthy, coverage under the older USF&G and Granite State policies, and critically, any expansion of coverage under Washington’s continuous trigger rule.
