The Supreme Court, New York County, initially ruled on October 21, 2002, that Granite State Insurance Co. was not obligated to defend or indemnify the plaintiffs in an underlying personal injury action. A subsequent order on April 4, 2003, denied plaintiffs' request to amend their complaint against Granite State. The appellate court unanimously affirmed both orders, stating that plaintiffs were not named as insureds or additional insureds under Granite State's workers' compensation and employer's liability policy. The court also declined to review plaintiffs' unpreserved claims regarding Insurance Law § 3420 (b) (2) as judgment creditors. Furthermore, the court held that the summary relief granted to Granite State became res judicata, preventing subsequent amendment attempts, and that the judgment creditor claims could have been raised in earlier litigation.
