Description

This action concerns the coverage provided by a property owners insurance policy issued by State Farm Fire and Casualty Company to James McGowan, the former owner of an apartment building. State Farm filed a declaratory judgment action in federal court regarding its defense obligations to McGowan in a Tennessee state-court lawsuit filed by Lori L. Dutton. Dutton, who lived in one of the apartments with her four-year-old daughter Amy, filed suit against McGowan after a rotting tree collapsed onto the apartment during a thunderstorm, killing Amy. The district court held that State Farm was obligated to defend McGowan in the underlying action under the terms of the policy. For the reasons set forth below, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
