7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: StarNet Insurance Company v. Adam Ruprecht, et al.,

Case No.: 20-1192

Officials: EASTERBROOK, RIPPLE, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Insurance Claim – Coverage

StarNet Insurance Company filed suit in diversity seeking a declaratory judgment specifying that the terms of a workers’ compensation and employers liability policy it issued to P.S. Demolition, Inc. obligate it to pay nothing more for a workplace injury than the amounts that Illinois workers’ compensation law requires P.S. Demolition to pay its injured employees. The district court entered judgment on the pleadings in favor of StarNet. StarNet Ins. Co. v. Ruprecht, 2019 WL 6877599 (N.D. Ill. Dec. 17, 2019). We affirm. Our reasoning tracks that of the district court.
