Secura Insurance v. Phillips 66 Company

Insurance coverage dispute involving the question of whether the assignment of a master service agreement (MSA) was sufficient for the assignee to be considered an “additional insured” of the non-assigning party to the original MSA. The appellate court found that the assignment of the MSA satisfied the written agreement requirement between the insured and the assignee for the assignee to be considered an additional insured under the policy, which obligated the insurance company to provide a defense in a personal injury lawsuit. The appellate court reversed the trial court order to the contrary. (WALKER and COGHLAN, concurring)
