Threlkeld v. Ranger Ins. Co

In Threlkeld v. Ranger Ins. Co. (1984) 156 Cal. App. 3d 1, the court construed a policy exclusion in an action to recover for hull damage. Before interpreting the policy, the court noted it was not a third party action for bodily injury or property damage. "If this were the case, strong public policy principles might force a restricted interpretation of the policy terms which would provide coverage to the injured third party." ( Id. at p. 6.)
