State Directory- Wrongful DeathWestern World Insurance Company v. Nonprofits Insurance Alliance of California, (Unpublished) (2018) Case No. 13-CV-04466-EJD. Prevailed before United States District Court (N.D. CA) that general liability and professional liability insurer (NIAC) owed defense coverage to two Scientology-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for two lawsuits in Georgia and Oklahoma alleging staff members provided drugs and alcohol and engaged in illicit sexual relations with patients which resulted in severe brain injury and paraplegia (Oklahoma) and wrongful death (Georgia). Court rejected NIAC’s overbroad application of professional services exclusion, overly narrow interpretation of improper sexual conduct coverage, assertion that patients’ injury and death was not an occurrence or accident, or that primary NIAC policy was excess to another primary policy with identical other insurance clause.
