Description

Charles and Helen Auten sued Employers National Insurance Company to recover under an all-risks homeowners insurance policy after a professional exterminators misapplication of pesticides rendered their home uninhabitable. Employers defended on the ground that the Autens, loss was caused by contamination, a peril excluded by the terms of the policy. Based on the jurys findings that the misapplication of pesticides was negligent, that it caused physical loss to the Autens, home and that this loss was not caused by contamination, the trial court found that Employers was liable under the policy but only awarded the Autens their attorneys fees, apparently because the Autens had settled with the exterminator.
