In an action by an insurer seeking a declaration that it was not obligated to defend its insured in a personal injury action, summary judgment for defendant is reversed where the policy at issue did not cover defendant’s auto under any circumstances and, therefore, the district court erred in finding that New York Insurance Law section 3420(d)(2) required plaintiff to timely disclaim coverage.
