Southeast Judicial District, Ransom County
Jerod E. Tufte

Oral Argument 10/19/2015

Highlight

Insurance coverage for "direct physical loss or damage" is not ambiguous as a matter of law. A district court does not err in finding the ordinary meaning of the phrase does not include loss-of-use coverage.
The reasonable expectations doctrine is not adopted.
