Case Summary

4986 REVIEW DENIED. The trial court properly held that an insurance policy did not cover harm caused by the insured's “fax blasting” because the insured had not caused an advertising injury as defined by the policy, and any property damage caused by the insured's actions was not accidental since the insured intended to send faxes to recipients.
