A third-party trucker was at an insured fruit canning facility picking up a load. He was trying to tie down his cargo while the forklift drivers were still loading. While securing, the conveyor bumped into the platform, knocking it over and onto the driver causing injuries. The driver submitted a demand for damages.
Chubb provided a defense for the insured and helped to successfully resolve the claim.
