Insurance : CGL Policy – Collection Of Judgment – ‘Temporary Worker’

Where a plaintiff who obtained personal injury judgments against four co-workers after an accident on the job sought to collect from his employer’s commercial general liability and umbrella policies, judgment for the defendant insurer is affirmed because the plaintiff as a seasonal worker was not a temporary worker but an employee, so he was subject to the policy exclusions.
Judgment is affirmed.
