Robert Chemers and Dave Larson obtain judgment for insurer client in federal court

Robert Chemers and Dave Larson obtained a judgment for their insurer client in their federal court declaratory judgment action that the insurer had no duty to defend its insureds who were sued in Cook County in a 44 page multi-count complaint for defamation and other claims based on no bodily injury and no property damage, and that if either was pleaded, along with personal injury, the “business” exclusion in the primary and umbrella homeowners policies precluded coverage.
