Description
CROCKETT, Justice: Gulf Insurance Company, tort liability insurer of the Box Elder School District and its employees, sued
Horace Mann Insurance Company, which provides the same type of insurance to teachers, seeking to compel Horace Mann to bear
or share the responsibility for an injury to a student. The trial court granted defendant Horace Mann's motion for summary
judgment. Gulf appeals. Russell Johnson, a teacher at Bear River Junior High School in Tremonton, Box Elder County, was sued by a student, Brent
Rupp, for injury to his hand in using a power saw in Mr. Johnson's shop class. The policy issued by Gulf to the school district
and the group policy issued by Horace Mann through the Utah Education Association both cover Mr. Johnson's conduct. Each policy
asserts liability only for the excess over coverage by other valid insurance and each company contends that the policy of
the other provides valid insurance coverage and that it is, therefore, exempt.
