    Holding that insurer cannot rely upon classification scheme to deny coverage because policy fails to provide that classifications define covered risks

    The New York Court of Appeals held that the insured was not entitled to coverage based on its policy because "[t]he insurance contract was drawn so as to put a prospective purchaser of insurance on notice that if he wanted elevator protection, he had to pay an additional premium." Id. at 368, 318 N.Y.S.2d 303, 267 N.E.2d 93 (quoting Refined Syrups Sugars, Inc. v. Travelers Ins. Co., 136 F.Supp. 907, 911 (S.D.N.Y. 1954)). In Ducks, an ice-skater sued the insured for an injury sustained while skating in the insured's rink.

    229 F.2d 439 (2d Cir. 1956)

  4. Freedman, Inc. v. Glens Falls Ins. Co.

    27 N.Y.2d 364 (N.Y. 1971)   Cited 114 times
    In Lionel Freedman the insured sought a defense on a negligence action which was commenced by a plaintiff after an accident in which a man fell into an elevator shaft at the street level of a building, which the insured occupied as a tenant of the 4th and 5th floors.

    Thus, if plaintiff desired protection against liability from its employees' occasional manual movement of the elevator car, it was available. "The insurance contract was drawn so as to put a prospective purchaser of insurance on notice that if he wanted elevator protection he had to pay an additional premium" ( Refined Syrups Sugars v. Travelers Ins. Co., 136 F. Supp. 907, 911). Plaintiff did not purchase the separately available elevator coverage, and, if its employee's use of the elevator is found negligent, it will not be entitled to indemnification from defendant under the policy.

    Holding that the naming of additional insureds does not extend the nature of the substantive coverage originally given by the policy, but merely gives to other persons the same protection afforded to the principal insured
