Mold Damage From Allegedly Defective Work Excluded From CGL Coverage

Following a contractor’s remodeling of a house, the home owner sued the contractor and its commercial general liability (CGL) insurer, Wisconsin Mutual Insurance, as well as its own homeowners insurer, Hastings Mutual Insurance. The home owner claimed the house was rendered uninhabitable by the contractor’s negligent work on a bathroom that resulted in leaking water, which caused mold to grow and then release the chemical trichothecene into the residence.
