Description
This is a suit on a liability insurance policy. Appellants, George Filley, Jr. and Mary Filley sued Lindy Matthews d/b/a Alinco Construction Company for negligence, seeking recovery for damage to their building resulting from Matthews demolition work on adjacent property. After suit was filed, Matthews could not be located. He was served by publication and the Filleys obtained a default judgment against him. Appellants then sued Matthews insurance company, Ohio Casualty Insurance Company (Ohio) on their liability insurance policy. After a bench trial, the court entered judgment in favor of Ohio, finding that the failure of Alinco/Matthews to meet the notice and cooperation conditions of the policy operated to prejudice Ohio, relieving it from any contractual obligation it had to Alinco/Matthews and, consequently, to the Filleys. We affirm.
