Heading: Application of the Exclusion.

Text: Verdell contends that because the claim against him was brought by Iowa Lakes rather than by Marian, the exclusion does not apply. He also asserts that because the Iowa Lakes' claim is for contribution, it is not a claim for bodily injury, making the exclusion inapplicable. Neither argument is persuasive. Verdell's liability to Iowa Lakes stems from his liability to Marian for her bodily injury. Marian is also an insured under the policy. The policy specifically excludes coverage for an insured's liability for bodily injury to any insured. See, e.g., Knoblock v. Prudential Property & Casualty Ins. Co., 260 N.J.Super. 127, 130-32, 615 A.2d 644, 646 (App.Div.1992). We have reviewed all of Verdell's arguments as to why summary judgment on his breach of contract claim was inappropriate and reject them all. The court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Farm Bureau was proper. Also, Verdell continues to assert his first-party bad faith claim. Because denial of his coverage claim was appropriate, his claim for bad faith denial of coverage must also fail.
