Traveler’s Ins. Co. v. Eljer Mfg., Inc.

197 Ill. 2d 278 (2001)

The Supreme Court held that the mere installation of a defective plumbing system did not, within the meaning of a comprehensive general liability insurance policy, constitute “physical injury to tangible property” unless and until the system leaked. This decision expressly overruled an Illinois Appellate Court decision that had been the law in Illinois for more than a decade.
