Synopsis: Whether damages caused by collapsed shoring during the construction of a building are covered under the ensuing loss provision of an all-risk insurance policy that excludes coverage for faulty workmanship design and defects, and whether damages from the imminent collapse of a home deck are covered under the ensuing loss provision of an all-risk homeowners policy that excludes coverage for construction defects and rot.

Note: This case was consolidated with Sprague v. Safeco Insurance Company of America (No. 85794-6) for argument, but was decided separately.
