Before TJOFLAT, JILL PRYOR and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judge:
              Case: 14-12151     Date Filed: 06/10/2015   Page: 2 of 19


      This appeal presents the question of whether insurer Pennsylvania National

Mutual Casualty Insurance Company (“Penn National”) has a duty to indemnify its

insured, Kiker Corporation (“Kiker”), with respect to a judgment St. Catherine of

Siena Parish (the “Parish”) obtained against Kiker for breach of contract after

Kiker’s faulty repairs to the church’s roofs caused leaks. Penn National argues that

under the terms of Kiker’s commercial general liability insurance policy (the

“Policy”), there is no coverage and thus no duty to indemnify Kiker. The district

court agreed, granted summary judgment to Penn National, and denied summary

judgment to the Parish. To resolve the Parish’s appeal, we must decide two issues:

(1) whether Kiker’s conduct that caused the Parish’s property damage constitutes

an “occurrence” under the terms of the Policy and (2) if so, whether the Policy’s

contractual liability exclusion nonetheless bars coverage for the Parish’s breach of

contract claim alleging a breach of the implied warranty of workmanship.

      Whether there was an occurrence under the Policy turns not, as Penn

National urges, on the fact that the Parish’s claim against Kiker was breach of

contract, but, instead, on whether Kiker’s conduct that caused damage to the

Parish’s property was accidental. Because the conduct that caused damage to the

Parish was accidental, the damage is covered under the Policy. As to Penn

National’s second argument, that it has no duty to indemnify Kiker because of the

Policy’s contractual liability exclusion, we hold that the exclusion is inapplicable


                                          2
               Case: 14-12151      Date Filed: 06/10/2015     Page: 3 of 19


here. Thus, the district court erred in granting Penn National’s summary judgment

motion and denying the Parish’s motion. We reverse the district court’s grant of

summary judgment in favor of Penn National, vacate the denial of summary

judgment to the Parish, and remand to the district court with instructions to enter

judgment in favor of the Parish.

                             I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND

   A. Kiker Repairs the Parish’s Roofs

       In 2003, the Parish, a Catholic church located in Mobile, Alabama, hired

Kiker to repair its main roof by removing the existing shingles and installing new

ones.1 Shortly after beginning work, Kiker discovered that the deck supporting the

roof was made of gypsum panels surrounded by metal bands.2 Kiker had no

experience working with gypsum and did not know how to install shingles on a

roof with a gypsum deck. After doing some research, Kiker planned to install a

new plywood deck over the existing gypsum deck and attach new shingles to the

plywood deck. Kiker then learned that it would be cheaper to use a special

fastener, the ES Do-All Loc-Nail, to attach the shingles directly to the existing

gypsum deck, so Kiker opted to use the fastener and completed the work.



       1
         In turn, Kiker hired a subcontractor, Damon Lett Roofing, to perform the work. For
purposes of this opinion, references to Kiker’s work include work performed by the
subcontractor.
       2
         Gypsum is a substance with a consistency similar to drywall. When gypsum is exposed
to water, it breaks down and turns to powder.
                                             3
              Case: 14-12151    Date Filed: 06/10/2015   Page: 4 of 19


      In 2005, the Parish hired Kiker to repair leaks in a secondary roof, known as

the horseshoe roof. The horseshoe roof was a low-slope roof. Kiker told the

Parish that the leaks could be fixed by adding a pitch to the roof, which would

allow water to flow off the roof into downspouts. A few months after Kiker

finished work on the horseshoe roof, water began to leak through the ceiling

underneath. When the Parish complained, Kiker inspected the horseshoe roof and

concluded that it was not leaking. Kiker told the Parish that the leaks were caused

instead by water flowing through a brick wall that abutted the roof and

recommended that the Parish to apply sealant to the bricks to stop the leaking. The

Parish followed Kiker’s instructions, but the leaks continued. In 2008, water began

to leak through the ceiling under the main roof. Kiker returned to the Parish

between 40 and 50 times to investigate leaks. Each time Kiker reported that the

roofs were not causing the leaks.

      In 2010, the Parish hired a roof inspector to inspect both roofs. The

inspection of the main roof showed that Kiker’s improper installation of the ES

Do-All Loc-Nail fasteners caused the leaks. To secure shingles to a gypsum deck,

the fasteners must be nailed directly into the gypsum deck, not the steel bands that

surround the gypsum. But, Kiker tried to force the ES Do-All Loc-Nails into the

steel bands. The nails could not penetrate the steel and tore the shingles or caused




                                          4
                Case: 14-12151       Date Filed: 06/10/2015       Page: 5 of 19


the shingles not to lie flat.3 As a result, water was able to flow between the

shingles to the gypsum deck below, transforming the gypsum from a hard, solid

surface into powder; thus, it could no longer support the roof and had to be

replaced. Water also flowed through the gypsum deck to the Parish’s ceiling under

the main roof, destroying the ceiling’s plaster.

       The inspection revealed problems with Kiker’s work on the horseshoe roof

as well. The horseshoe roof also had a gypsum deck, and Kiker used the same

fasteners to install the new shingles on that roof. The inspection also revealed a

defect in the flashing in the brick wall that abuts the horseshoe roof. Water entered

the bricks above the horseshoe roof, flowed through the bricks instead of onto the

roof, and eventually reached the ceiling where it caused leaks. Before Kiker

worked on the roof, through-wall copper flashing in the bricks forced water out of

the brick wall onto the roof’s surface. But Kiker covered over the through-wall

copper flashing so that it no longer directed water onto the roof. Kiker then

installed surface-mounted flashing, but the new flashing was ineffective in forcing

water out of the bricks and onto the roof. Without the proper flashing, water

flowed through the bricks and leaked into the building.




       3
         Kiker should have laid felt between the deck and shingles to serve as additional
protection from water, but in many places Kiker failed to install the felt.

   B. The Parish Sues Kiker

          The Parish sued Kiker in state court, alleging that Kiker breached the

implied warranty in the parties’ contract that required Kiker to complete the project

using reasonable skill. Upon being served with the Parish’s complaint, Kiker

notified Penn National, and Penn National defended Kiker under a reservation of

rights.

          The Parish’s breach of contract claim was tried to a jury. 4 At trial the Parish

sought more than $400,000 in damages, which included the cost of repairing the

water damage to the Parish’s ceilings and replacing the main roof, the horseshoe

roof, and the roofs’ decks. The jury, using a general verdict form, awarded the

Parish $350,000.

   C. Penn National Seeks a Declaratory Judgment

          After final judgment was entered, Penn National filed a declaratory

judgment action in district court against the Parish and Kiker, seeking a declaration

that it has no duty to indemnify Kiker with respect to the $350,000 verdict. Penn

National and the Parish each moved for summary judgment. The district court

granted Penn National’s motion and denied the Parish’s. The court concluded that




          4
          The Parish brought other claims against Kiker, which were not submitted to the jury.
The Parish also sued the engineers who recommended the ES Do-All Loc-Nails; those claims
settled prior to trial.

              Case: 14-12151     Date Filed: 06/10/2015   Page: 7 of 19


the Policy’s contractual liability exclusion bars coverage and entered a declaration

that Penn National owes no duty to indemnify. The Parish appealed.

                            II. STANDARD OF REVIEW

      “We review a district court’s grant or denial of summary judgment de novo.”

Brown v. Sec’y of State of Fla., 

, 1274 (11th Cir. 2012). Summary

judgment is appropriate “where the moving party . . . ‘shows that there is no

genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a

matter of law.’” Hughes v. Kia Motors Corp., 

, 1331 (11th Cir.

2014) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a)), cert. denied, 

(2015). “The

interpretation of provisions in an insurance contract is a question of law, also

reviewed de novo.” Stephens v. Mid-Continent Cas. Co., 

, 1321

(11th Cir. 2014). The parties agree that in this diversity action Alabama law

governs our interpretation of the Policy.

                                    III. ANALYSIS

      A. Has the Parish Shown Its Injuries Were Caused by an Occurrence?

      The terms of the Policy define the scope of Penn National’s duty to

indemnify Kiker, its insured. The Policy provides that Penn National will pay only

“those sums that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because




                                            7
                Case: 14-12151       Date Filed: 06/10/2015       Page: 8 of 19


of ‘bodily injury’ or ‘property damage’ to which this insurance applies.” 5 Policy at

§ I.A.1.a. The Policy further limits coverage to those instances where the “‘bodily

injury’ or ‘property damage’ is caused by an ‘occurrence.’” 

I.A.1.b.(1).

       When an insured causes multiple injuries, coverage is determined on an

injury-by-injury basis, and the insurer is obligated only to indemnify for damages

arising out of the covered injuries.6 See, e.g., Town & Country Prop., L.L.C. v.

Amerisure Ins. Co., 

, 710 (Ala. 2012) (holding that insurer was

required to indemnify its insured only for damages covered under policy where

injured party sought damages in underlying action for various injuries, only some

of which were caused by an occurrence); United States Fid. & Guar. Co. v. Bonitz

Insulation Co. of Ala., 

, 573-74 (Ala. 1982) (explaining that

although damage to roof was not covered under policy, damage to ceilings, walls,

carpets, and gym floor was covered).

               1. Occurrence Under Alabama Law

       The Policy defines an “occurrence” as “an accident, including continuous or

repeated exposure to substantially the same general harmful conditions.” Policy at

§ V.13. According to the Supreme Court of Alabama, in the insurance context an


       5
          The Policy defines property damage as “[p]hysical injury to tangible property, including
all resulting loss of use of that property.” Policy at § V.17. Penn National concedes that the
Parish’s injuries are “property damage” under the Policy.
        6
          It does not appear that the district court engaged in an injury-by-injury analysis. See
Penn. Nat’l Mut. Cas. Ins. Co. v. St. Catherine of Siena Par., 

, 1378-79 (S.D.
Ala. 2014).
                                                8
              Case: 14-12151     Date Filed: 06/10/2015    Page: 9 of 19


“accident” is “[a]n unintended and unforeseen injurious occurrence; something that

does not occur in the usual course of events or that could [not] be reasonably

anticipated.” Hartford Cas. Ins. Co. v. Merchs. & Farmers Bank, 

,

1011 (Ala. 2005) (internal quotation marks omitted). Put differently, an accident is

“something unforeseen, unexpected, or unusual.” 

marks

omitted). When the insured makes an error in judgment but “at all times acted in a

deliberate and purposeful manner,” its conduct does not constitute an accident or

occurrence. 

(quoting Mindis Metals, Inc. v. Transp. Ins. Co., 

, 1301 (11th Cir. 2000)).

      In the underlying case, the Parish alleged that Kiker breached the parties’

contract by failing to complete the work properly. Alabama law creates an implied

warranty that a contractor will “use reasonable skill in fulfilling his contractual

obligations.” Blackmon v. Powell, 

, 5 (Ala. 2013) (quoting Turner v.

Westhampton Court, L.L.C., 

, 93 (Ala. 2004)). Even when a

contractor has completed the contracted work, she can be held liable for breaching

the parties’ contract and the implied warranty if she failed to use reasonable skill in

performing her work. 

contractor performs faulty work (that is, fails to use reasonable

skill), there is no accident or occurrence, but, when the contractor’s faulty work

creates a condition that in turn damages property, under Alabama law, that damage


                                           9
               Case: 14-12151       Date Filed: 06/10/2015       Page: 10 of 19


results from an accident. See Owners Ins. Co. v. Jim Carr Homebuilder, LLC, 

, 155-56 (Ala. 2014). Thus, the question of “whether poor workmanship

can lead to an occurrence . . . depends ‘on the nature of the damage’ that results

from the faulty workmanship.” 

(quoting Town & Country Prop., L.L.C.

v. Amerisure Ins. Co., 

, 705 (Ala. 2011)). For example, when a

contractor hired to repair a roof performs the work poorly so that the roof must be

replaced, there is no accident covered by the Policy. See Berry v. S. Car. Ins. Co.,

, 513 (Ala. 1985).7 In contrast, when a contractor is hired to repair

a roof and his work causes a leak that damages the building’s ceilings, walls, or

floors, there is an accident, and the cost of repairing the ceilings, walls, or floors is

covered. See Bonitz 

.

       Penn National argues that the Parish’s injuries are not covered because Kiker

acted intentionally when it breached the contract. But this argument is another

way of saying that repairs to Kiker’s faulty work itself are not covered. Penn

National overlooks that the Parish’s breach of contract claim was based on a

breach of the implied warranty of workmanship and Kiker’s failure to use

reasonable skill. To the extent that Kiker’s faulty work created a condition that



       7
         Penn National argues that Berry stands for the proposition that a breach of contract
claim cannot give rise to an occurrence. We disagree. In Berry the court acknowledged that a
contractor’s faulty work can give rise to an occurrence when the faulty work creates a condition
that causes property 

.
                                               10
             Case: 14-12151     Date Filed: 06/10/2015    Page: 11 of 19


caused property damage, an accident occurred under Alabama law. See Jim 

.

      In support of its argument that a breach of contract is intentional and not an

accident or occurrence, Penn National cites three Supreme Court of Alabama

cases. However, these cases do not address the meaning of occurrence or whether

breaching a contract must be an intentional act. First, in American States

Insurance Co. v. Martin, the Alabama Supreme Court held there was no coverage

because the injured party’s damages did not qualify as property damage. 

245, 249 (Ala. 1995). Because the case turned on whether the injuries were

property damage, it does not support Penn National’s argument about the meaning

of an occurrence.

      In Ajdarodini v. State Auto Mutual Insurance Co., the Alabama Supreme

Court summarily concluded that an insurance policy did not cover the injured

party’s breach of contract claim because exclusions to the policy barred coverage

for “liability assumed by the insured under any contract or agreement” and for the

“loss of use of tangible property which has not been physically injured or

destroyed resulting from . . . the failure of the named insured’s products or work.”

, 313 (Ala. 1993). Rather than addressing whether breach of

contract is an intentional act, the portion of Ajdarodini on which Penn National

relies interprets the scope of the policy’s exclusions.


                                          11
               Case: 14-12151       Date Filed: 06/10/2015       Page: 12 of 19


       In the third case Penn National cites, the Supreme Court of Alabama held

there was no coverage where there was no evidence showing that the insured’s

breach of contract caused the injuries. See Reliance Ins. Co. v. Gary C. Wyatt,

Inc., 

(Ala. 1988). In Gary C. Wyatt, a contractor leased a crane and

agreed to name the lessor as an additional insured but failed to do so. When one of

the contractor’s employees was injured by the crane, the employee sued the

contractor, lessor, and crane manufacturer. The lessor then sued the contractor for

breach of contract based on its failure to procure insurance. 

The

contractor’s insurer sought a declaration that it had no duty to indemnify the

contractor with respect to the lessor’s breach of contract claim. The Court did not

address or discuss whether the contractor’s failure to procure insurance was an

accident or an intentional act. Instead, the Court held there was no coverage

because there was no causal connection between the breach of contract and the

employee’s injuries. See 

(“The breach of contract was the failure to

procure liability insurance. . . . The contract had been breached, with or without

[the employee’s] injury.”). 8




       8
          Penn National also urges us to adopt the reasoning of Alabama district courts that have
concluded a breach of contract based on faulty workmanship does not constitute an occurrence.
See, e.g., Owners Ins. Co. v. Shep Jones Constr. Inc., No. 08-AR-514, 

(N.D.
Ala. May 3, 2012). Of course, we are not bound by district courts’ decisions, and we decline to
adopt their reasoning because we believe it to be inconsistent with the Alabama Supreme Court’s
subsequent decision in Jim Carr.
                                               12
             Case: 14-12151     Date Filed: 06/10/2015   Page: 13 of 19


      To summarize, the Policy obligates Penn National to indemnify Kiker for

property damage or personal injury caused by an occurrence, meaning an accident.

A property owner’s claim against a contractor for faulty workmanship does not

arise out of an accident or occurrence. However, a claim for damage resulting

from a condition caused by the contractor’s faulty work may arise out of an

accident and be covered as an occurrence.

             2. The Parish’s Injuries as Occurrences

      With these principles in mind, we turn to the question of whether the Parish

was awarded damages in the state court action for injuries caused by an

occurrence. The Parish, as the party seeking coverage under the Policy, bears the

burden of proving that coverage exists. See Ala. Hosp. Ass’n Trust v. Mut.

Assurance Soc’y of Ala., 

, 1216 (Ala. 1989).

      We begin by identifying the injuries for which the Parish recovered damages

in the underlying action. Where, as here, the jury used a general verdict form and

did not identify each injury for which it was awarding damages, it is appropriate,

under Alabama law, to look to the record of the trial in the underlying action to

identify the injuries for which the injured party sought damages. See, e.g., Town &

Country 

n.1 (relying, for purposes of determining scope

of insurers’ duty to indemnify, on record from underlying trial to identify damages

that injured party sought); Knutilla v. Auto-Owners Ins. Co., 

(Ala.


                                         13
             Case: 14-12151    Date Filed: 06/10/2015   Page: 14 of 19


Civ. App. 1991) (looking to types of damages sought at trial in underlying action

to determine scope of coverage under surety bond when jury returned a general

verdict). The trial record in the underlying action shows that the Parish sought

damages for the costs of repairing the water damage to its ceilings, improper

installation of shingles on both roofs, and destruction of the roofs’ gypsum

decking. We must now consider whether each of these injuries is covered under

the Policy as property damage caused by an occurrence.

      At trial, the Parish sought $104,127.63 for repairing the ceilings. The water

damage to the ceilings was the result of an accident and is covered as an

occurrence. Kiker did not perform any work on the Parish’s ceilings, meaning the

ceilings were not part of Kiker’s faulty work. Instead, the ceilings were damaged

through an accident: repeated exposure to water that either came through the

shingles because Kiker failed to install them properly or under the roof because

Kiker improperly installed flashing in the brick wall connected to the horseshoe

roof. See Moss v. Champion Ins. Co., 

, 29 (Ala. 1983) (holding that

water damage to homeowner’s attic and ceiling during contractor’s installation of

new roof constituted an occurrence).

      The Parish also sought $292,544 for repairing the main roof and the gypsum

deck underneath the main roof. The damage to the gypsum deck was caused by an

accident because Kiker performed no work on the gypsum deck. Rather, the


                                         14
              Case: 14-12151     Date Filed: 06/10/2015   Page: 15 of 19


gypsum deck was damaged because Kiker improperly installed the shingles,

causing water to flow through the shingles to the gypsum deck. Thus, we cannot

conclude that the gypsum deck was part of Kiker’s faulty work.

        The costs the Parish incurred to replace the gypsum deck included removing

the main roof’s shingles to reach the gypsum deck, removing the gypsum deck, and

installing a new roof deck and shingles. Because the Parish incurred all of these

costs as a necessary part of replacing the gypsum deck, the costs are all covered

under the Policy. The Policy provides that Penn National is liable for “sums that

the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because of ‘bodily injury’

or ‘property damage’ to which this insurance applies.” Policy at § I.A.1.a. If the

Parish had removed and replaced the shingles solely to repair Kiker’s faulty

workmanship in installing them, then the cost would not be covered under the

Policy. But here, the cost of removing and replacing the shingles is covered

because these tasks necessarily had to be undertaken to repair the damaged gypsum

deck.

        Finally, the Parish sought $35,188 for replacing the horseshoe roof.

Importantly, these damages did not include the cost of installing new through-wall

flashing, even though Kiker improperly covered over the existing through-wall

flashing. The Parish presented evidence that the horseshoe roof, like the main

roof, had a gypsum deck on which Kiker used the same fasteners. From this


                                          15
             Case: 14-12151     Date Filed: 06/10/2015   Page: 16 of 19


evidence, we can infer that the Parish replaced the horseshoe roof and deck for the

same reason as the main roof, that is, to repair damage to the gypsum deck caused

by water leaking through the improperly installed shingles. As a result, the

Parish’s injury was caused by an accident, and the cost of replacing the horseshoe

roof and its deck is covered under the Policy.

      Because all of the Parish’s injuries in the underlying action were caused by

an accident, they are covered under the terms of the Policy. Penn National,

therefore, has a duty to indemnify Kiker for the entire $350,000 verdict.

      B. Does the Contractual Liability Exclusion Apply?

      Penn National argues that, even if the Parish’s injuries were covered as

occurrences, it has no duty to indemnify Kiker because the Policy’s contractual

liability exclusion bars coverage in this case. As the insurer, Penn National bears

the burden of proving that the exclusion applies. Acceptance Ins. Co. v. Brown,

, 12 (Ala. 2001). The district court found that the exclusion bars

coverage for the Parish’s claim. Because the district court’s interpretation of the

exclusion is inconsistent with the Policy’s plain language and a decision of the

Supreme Court of Alabama construing an identical provision, the district court

erred in concluding that the exclusion bars coverage here.

      We first examine the language of the Policy’s contractual liability exclusion.

Under the exclusion, no coverage exists for “‘bodily injury’ or ‘property damage’


                                         16

for which the insured is obligated to pay damages by reason of the assumption of

liability in a contract or agreement.” Policy at § I.A.2.b. By its plain language, the

exclusion bars coverage for claims based on an assumption of liability in an

indemnity agreement. The Parish’s breach of contract claim based on Kiker’s

breach of an implied warranty does not fall within the exclusion. Although the

implied warranty creates a duty for a contractor to use “reasonable skill” in

performing his work under the contract, this duty does not constitute an assumption

of liability. See 

.

      Indeed, the Alabama Supreme Court has interpreted an identical exclusion as

barring coverage only where the insured agreed to indemnify another party.

Townsend Ford, Inc. v. Auto-Owners Ins. Co., 

, 364 (Ala. 1995)

(explaining that purpose of identical exclusion was to bar coverage for “claims

involving indemnity contract liability”). Here, the district court considered

Townsend Ford distinguishable because the injured party in that case sued the

insured for breach of an express warranty, while the Parish sued Kiker for breach

of an implied warranty. This is not a meaningful distinction. The Supreme Court

of Alabama’s logic in Townsend Ford—that a provision excluding from coverage

“damages by reason of the assumption of liability in a contract” was intended to

exclude claims arising out of indemnity agreements only—applies regardless of

whether the injured party brings a breach of contract claim based on the breach of

an express or implied warranty. See 

that Townsend Ford does not apply, Penn National urges us to

follow earlier cases in which the Alabama Supreme Court held that a contractual

liability exclusion bars coverage for all claims sounding in contract. See Carter v.

Cincinnati Ins. Co., 

(Ala. 1983); United States Fid. & Guar. Co. v.

Nat’l Tank & Mach. Works, Inc., 

(Ala. 1981); see also 

. Assuming, arguendo, that under the reasoning of these cases

the Policy’s contractual exclusion would bar the Parish’s claim, those decisions

conflict with the Alabama Supreme Court’s later holding in Townsend Ford. As a

federal court sitting in diversity, we are bound to follow “the latest statement of

state law by the state supreme court.” World Harvest Church, Inc. v. Guideone

Mut. Ins. Co., 

, 957 (11th Cir. 2009); see Delta Air Lines, Inc. v.

McDonnell Douglas Corp., 

, 245 (5th Cir. 1974).9 Thus, the

contractual liability exclusion does not bar coverage for the Parish’s breach of

contract claim alleging a breach of implied warranty.

                                  IV. CONCLUSION

      The Parish’s injuries are covered under the Policy, and the contractual

liability exclusion does not bar coverage here. Penn National thus has a duty to

indemnify Kiker as to the entire $350,000 judgment. Accordingly, we reverse the

district court’s grant of summary judgment to Penn National. We also vacate the

district court’s denial of summary judgment to the Parish and remand the case to

the district court with instructions to enter judgment in favor of the Parish.

      REVERSED IN PART, VACATED IN PART, and REMANDED.
