| | Lib Mtl Ins Co v. Smithy Braedon Prop |
 | | Smithy Braedon, a property management firm, agreed to take care of some property of First Church of Christ, Scientist in Washington, D.C. As part of the contract, each agreed to take out liability insurance (with some variations between the two), and to name the other as an additional insured. |
 | | In January 1992 LaDwayna Thomas sued First Church and Smithy Braedon's subcontractor (and by a later amendment Smithy Braedon itself), alleging a back injury suffered when she fell backward after pulling on a broken door handle on First Church's property, and seeking $1,000,000 in damages-just within the $1,000,000 per occurrence limit in each policy. |
 | | Because the decision against Smithy Braedon and in favor of Liberty was pivotal in the defeat of Travelers' claim, it was clearly injured by that aspect of the judgment. |
