GENERAL ACCIDENT FIRE & LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION, LTD., et al.\u2014(General Accident Fire & Life Assurance Corporation, Ltd., Appellant.)" ], "opinions": [ { "text": "MR. JUSTICE DAVIS\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThe overall issue in this case is whether there is insurance coverage for the insured, M. Fingerhut, d/b/a Coral Stores, assuming the truth of the allegations of the plaintiff\u2019s declaratory judgment complaint that in the operation of Coral Stores, Fingerhut negligently sold fireworks to the plaintiff, who subsequently suffered injury therefrom, while away from the store premises.\nThe plaintiff, Bernard Cobbins, 11 years of age, bought fireworks from the defendant, Fingerhut. Under the provisions of section 12 of the Fireworks Regulation Act (Ill.Rev.Stat. 1963, ch. 127\u00bd, par. 112), it was unlawful to sell fireworks to a child under the age of 12 years without the consent of the child\u2019s parents. The plaintiff took the fireworks (sparklers) to his yard, lit them, and suffered burns when a spark ignited his shirt.\nThe plaintiff sued Fingerhut in the circuit court of Cook County, alleging negligence on his part in the sale of such sparklers. Fingerhut tendered the defense to General Accident Fire & Life Assurance Corporation, Ltd. under his \u201cOwners\u2019, Landlords\u2019 and Tenants\u2019 Liability Insurance Policy.\u201d General Accident refused to defend, and the plaintiff then brought this action seeking a declaration that General Accident was obligated under the provisions of the policy to defend and to pay any judgment recovered against Fingerhut. In his answer, Fingerhut joined in this prayer. The trial court held that there was no coverage under the policy for the liability sought to be imposed and granted General Accident\u2019s motion for summary judgment. Upon appeal, the appellate court reversed and remanded the judgment and held that there was coverage under the policy. (3 Ill.App.3d 379.) We granted leave to appeal.\nThe insurance policy is the standard type for Owners\u2019, Landlords\u2019 and Tenants\u2019 coverage. Under its provisions, five types of hazards may be insured: (1) \u201cPremises-Operations,\u201d (2) \u201cElevators,\u201d (3) \u201cStructural Alterations, New Construction,\u201d (4) \u201cProducts-Completed Operations,\u201d and (5) \u201cContractual-Specified Types of Agreements.\u201d Only the first hazard protection, \u201cPremises-Operations,\u201d was purchased by Fingerhut. It clearly appears on the face sheet of the policy that no premiums were paid for coverage against any other type of hazard.\nMore narrowly, the issue becomes whether under the \u201cPremises-Operations\u2019\u2019 coverage, there is liability under the facts of this case when the injury in question was suffered by the plaintiff after he left the insured\u2019s premises. The defendant, Fingerhut, did not purchase coverage under division 4 hazard \u2014 \u201cProducts-Completed Operations.\u201d\nUnder the insuring agreements, General Accident agreed to \u201cpay on behalf of the insured all sums which the insured shall become legally obligated to pay as damages *** caused by accident and arising out of the hazards hereinafter defined.\u201d The enumerated hazards are specifically defined:\n\u201cDivision 1\u2014Premises\u2014Operations.\nThe ownership, maintenance or use of the premises, and all operations necessary or incidental thereto.\n* * *\nDivision 4\u2014Products\u2014Completed Operations.\n(1) Goods or products manufactured, sold, handled or distributed by the named insured or by others trading under his name, if the accident occurs after possession of such goods or products has been relinquished to others by the named insured or by others trading under his name and if such accident occurs away from premises owned, rented or controlled by the named insured or on premises for which the classification stated in division 1 of Item 4 of the declarations excludes any part of the foregoing; provided, such goods or products shall be deemed to include any container thereof, other than a vehicle, but shall not include any vending machine or any property, other than such container, rented to or located for use of others but not sold;\n(2) Operations, if the accident occurs after such operations have been completed or abandoned and occurs away from premises owned, rented or controlled by the named insured; provided, operations shall not be deemed incomplete because improperly or defectively performed or because further operations may be required pursuant to an agreement; provided further, the following shall not be deemed to be \u2018operations\u2019 within the meaning of this paragraph: (a) pick-up or delivery, except from or onto a railroad car, (b) the maintenance of vehicles owned or used by or in behalf of the insured, (c) the existence of tools, uninstalled equipment and abandoned or unused materials and (d) operations for which the classification stated in division 1 of Item 4 of the declarations specifically includes completed operations.\u201d\nImmediately following the \u201cDefinition of Hazards\u201d are the \u201cExclusions\u201d provisions of the policy, under which Division 4\u2014the \u201cProducts-Completed Operations\u201d\u2014is an expressly excluded hazard, if only the division 1 hazard is insured.\nWhile this court has not previously had before it the question of whether a negligent sale of a product, which subsequently injures a person off the premises of the insured, comes within the coverage under division 1\u2014\u201cPremises-Operations\u201d\u2014or under division 4\u2014\u201cProducts-Completed Operations\u201d\u2014a number of other courts have considered the identical or substantially similar issue. They have arrived at diametrically opposite conclusions.\nOne line of cases holds that the \u201cPremises-Operations\u201d hazard applies only to those situations wherein the injury occurs on the premises. (Smith v. Maryland Casualty Co. (1967), 246 Md. 485, 229 A.2d 120; Bitts v. General Accident & Life Assurance Corp. (9th cir. 1960), 282 F.2d 542; Farmers Cooperative Soc. No. 1 v. Maryland Casualty Co. (Tex. Civ. App. 1939), 135 S.W.2d 1033; Hultquist v. Novak (1938), 202 Minn. 352, 278 N.W. 524.) The other line of cases holds that there may be recovery under division 1\u2014\u201cPremises-Operations\u201d\u2014notwithstanding that the injury occurs off the premises. Atkins v. Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co. (1967), 7 Mich. App. 414, 151 N.W.2d 846; Brant v. Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. (1966), 4 Mich. App. 596, 145 N.W.2d 410; St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. v. Coleman (8th cir. 1963), 316 F.2d 77; Lessak v. Metropolitan Casualty Ins. Co. (1958), 168 Ohio St. 153, 151 N.E.2d 730.\nThe first line of cases adopts the view that the \u201cproducts\u201d hazard division specifically covers injuries caused by accidents resulting from goods sold if the accident occurs after the possession of the goods has been relinquished to others, and if the accident occurs away from the premises in question. At the same time, such injuries are specifically excluded from the coverage under division 1, for operations on or from the premises. The determining factor for the coverage under the \u201cproducts\u201d hazard division and, hence, the resulting exclusion under division 1 is not the negligent cause, but the occurrence of the accident itself. Critical to recovery under the \u201cproducts\u201d hazard division is both the time of the accident as it relates to possession of the goods, and place as it relates to premises. Bitts v. General Accident Fire & Life Assurance Corp. (9th cir. 1960), 282 F.2d 542, 543-544.\nThe other line of cases is supported by varying rationale: It is the \u201ccause\u201d of the injury that is determinative and the wrongful or negligent sale is the proximate cause. Such sale is the \u201cuse of the premises,\u201d or an operation incidental thereto, and, hence, there is coverage. Under this rationale the courts have held that since there is no reference in the policy to the place where the accident occurs under division 1, the place of the accident is thus immaterial. (Lessak v. Metropolitan Casualty Ins. Co. (1958), 168 Ohio St. 153, 158, 151 N.E.2d 730, 734; St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. v. Coleman (8th cir. 1963), 316 F.2d 77, 80.) Other courts have found the existence of two \u201caccidents\u201d\u2014the first being the wrongful sale and the second being the resulting injury. By reason of the first \u201caccident\u201d on the premises, the courts have found coverage. Atkins v. Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co. (1967), 7 Mich. App. 414, 418-419, 151 N.W.2d 846, 848; Brant v. Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. (1966), 4 Mich. App. 596, 599-600, 145 N. W.2d 410, 412.\nWe find the reasoning of the first line of cases more persuasive and realistic in their interpretation of the insurance contract. An insurance contract, like any other, is to be interpreted from an examination of the complete document and not an isolated part. (Martindell v. Lake Shore Nat. Bank (1958), 15 Ill.2d 272, 283; Chicago Home for Girls v. Carr (1921), 300 Ill. 478, 483.) In determining whether the \u201cPremises-Operations\u201d hazard includes coverage where an injury results off the premises from a product sold by the insured, it is necessary to read all of the hazard definitions and the specific exclusions together.\nWhen read together, division 1, \u201cPremises-Operations,\u201d seems to clearly cover a factual situation which is distinct and separate from division 4, \u201cProducts-Completed Operations.\u201d Division 1 covers hazards relating to the premises, such as a person slipping on a loose floor tile, a stock boy dropping a heavy box on a person, or a waitress spilling hot coffee on a customer. The hazards are such that the resulting injury is generally apparent. Division 4 covers hazards not so readily apparent as between the initial act and ultimate result. In part, this division relates to products. As to products, the only requisites to coverage are that the goods were sold (or manufactured, handled, or distributed); that the accident occurred after possession of the goods was transferred to others; and that the accident occurred off the premises. It seems relatively clear that such product-related injuries would include a sale of gasoline, where kerosene was intended, or a sale of acid in a container not suited to hold such product.\nDivisions 1 and 4 also relate to operations, the latter being limited to completed operations. An example of this is the partial coverage of a courthouse floor in a demonstration by a floor-wax salesman, after which a person slips and falls on the waxed portion. It was held that in such a situation since the injured person had slipped and fallen the day following the demonstration and sale of the wax to the county officials, the operation was completed or abandoned within the product hazard clause. Since the plaintiff had not purchased insurance covering this hazard, the insurance company had no duty to defend. U.S. Sanitary Specialities Corp. v. Globe Indemnity Co. (7th cir. 1953), 204 F.2d 774.\nThe insurance policy in question specifically excludes coverage under the \u201cPremises-Operations\u201d hazard for injuries arising out of the \u201cProducts-Completed Operations\u201d hazard. There is no valid basis for suggesting that the case at bar falls outside of the \u201cProducts-Completed Operations\u201d definition. If a \u201csale\u201d of a product is also deemed an operation incidental to the use of the premises, then it is a \u201ccompleted operation\u201d when the sale is consummated.\nHere a product (sparklers) was sold; the product led to the injury; the accident occurred after the plaintiff obtained possession of the sparklers and after he had removed them to his home. The definition of the \u201cproducts\u201d hazard does not permit the interpretation that it applies only to the typical product-liability or defective-product case. It is not so limited. The hazard applies to all product related injuries, including the sale of the wrong product or the wrongful sale of a product to a customer so long as the other requisites also are present. If so, then coverage under division 1, relating to premises, is expressly excluded.\nThose cases, which rely upon treating a negligent sale as an \u201caccident\u201d in order to find coverage under these circumstances, import to the word something far beyond its normal, popular meaning. In the ordinary affairs of life we would neither call the sale of a product in violation of a statute an \u201caccident,\u201d nor reasonably expect others to do so. Such construction seems constrained and labored.\nAmong the definitions of \u201caccident\u201d in Webster\u2019s Third New International Dictionary (1968) are: \u201can unforeseen, unplanned event or condition.\u201d\nIn Farmers Cooperative Soc. No. 1 v. Maryland Casualty Co. (Tex. Civ. App. 1939), 135 S.W.2d 1033, the court had occasion to consider the word \u201caccident\u201d as used in the policy, and at pages 1036 and 1037 stated:\n\u201cIt is true that many definitions of \u2018accident\u2019 are found in the decisions and text books. *** It has been said that \u2018accident\u2019 is a synonym of \u2018casualty\u2019 and in its use in connection with insurance, it generally is held to import a casualty or misfortune resulting in injury or damage. [Citations.]\nIt is also true that, when used without restriction or qualification in contracts, although they be contracts of insurance or indemnity agreements, the meaning of the word is broader than the restricted definition of an event happening suddenly and violently. Globe Indemnity Co. v. Banner Grain Co., 2 Cir., 90 F.2d 774.\nIt may be that the unintentional substitution of gasoline for kerosene, when Boswell called for and purchased the latter, could be termed an accident in that it happened unintentionally and without design of any of the parties involved, but nothing in the nature of a casualty or injury resulted from the mere delivery of the liquid at the filling station or premises of appellant. That incident was completed and closed when the substance was delivered by the employee of appellant and received by Mr. Boswell.\u201d\nIn Century Mutual Insurance Co. v. Southern Arizona Aviation, Inc. (1968), 8 Ariz. App. 384, 386, 446 P.2d 490, 492, the court in construing the insurance policy under consideration, and in determining whether the \u201caccident\u201d there in question occurred at the time of the negligent manufacture of the product or at the time of the resulting injury, stated: \u201cAs used in this policy, giving to the word the meaning which a man of average understanding would, we think it clearly implies a misfortune with concomitant damage to a victim, and not the negligence which eventually results in that misfortune.\u201d We believe that such construction of the word \u201caccident\u201d is a reasonable, realistic and proper one under the policy in question.\nNor is it an answer to say that since the unlawful sale of the sparklers which occurred on the premises was the proximate cause of the injury, there must be coverage. The unlawful sale might well be a proximate cause of the injury, but if such sale is determined to be within the definition contained in division 4 relating to \u201cproducts\u201d hazard, then by express exclusion, it was not a part of the division 1 coverage. We deem a negligent sale to be a part of the definition of the division 4 hazard.\nA number of courts have reached an opposite conclusion because of a general attitude that most insurance policies appear to be written in a confusing, unintelligible style. (Maretti v. Midland Nat. Ins. Co. (1963), 42 Ill.App.2d 17, 27-28.) This does not, however, justify construing the contract against the insurer when no real ambiguity exists, nor does it justify distorting the meaning of words in order to reach a given result when the words should and can reasonably be given their plain, ordinary and popular meaning. Dempsey v. Nat. Life & Accident Ins. Co. (1949), 404 Ill. 423, 426; Pioneer Life Ins. Co. v. Alliance Life Ins. Co. (1940), 374 Ill. 576, 590.\nIn Carter v. Nehi Beverage Co. (1946), 329 Ill.App. 329, the plaintiff, an employee at a wayside lunch stand, was injured by a pop bottle which exploded in her hand. The distributor\u2019s insurance policy expressly excluded coverage where injuries' resulted from use of a product elsewhere than upon the insured\u2019s premises. In holding that there could be no coverage under the policy, the court stated that the exclusion was clear and unambiguous and it could not make a new and different insurance contract for the parties. 329 Ill.App. 329, at 331-332.\nThe same is true here. Fingerhut could have purchased coverage to protect him from the hazards defined in division 4, relating to products. He did not do so. The cost of this type insurance is determined by the hazards which the policy covers. It would be unfair to General Accident to construe the policy to include coverage which Fingerhut had not purchased and for which the insurer had not been paid.\nThe exclusionary language is clear. It applies to goods sold if the accident happens after the buyer has possession of the goods, and if the accident happens away from the premises of the insured. We must give meaning and effect to the exclusionary language. Accordingly, the judgment of the appellate court is reversed.\nAppellate court reversed; circuit court affirmed.", "type": "majority", "author": "MR. JUSTICE DAVIS" }, { "text": "MR.
