NOTICE - MEDIA RELEASE TIME IS 10:00 A.M.

A19-0078        King’s Cove Marina, LLC, Appellant, vs. Lambert Commercial Construction LLC, et al., Defendants, United Fire & Casualty Company,
                         Respondent.
                         Court of Appeals.
            1.   A commercial general liability insurance policy does not cover property damage to an insured’s own completed work under the plain language of a “your work” exclusion, which applies to work included in the “products-completed operations hazard.” 
            2.   A Miller-Shugart settlement agreement that does not allocate between claims that are covered and not covered by the insurance policy is not per se unreasonable and unenforceable against the insurer.
            3.   Determining the reasonableness of an unallocated Miller-Shugart settlement agreement is a two-part inquiry that first examines the overall reasonableness of the settlement and then determines how a reasonable person in the position of the insured would have valued and allocated the covered and uncovered claims at the time of the settlement. 
            Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.  Justice Margaret H. Chutich.
