OPINION OF THE COURT

Chief Judge KAYE.

At the heart of this dispute between two insurers—in a case where a construction worker allegedly suffered a grave job site injury—is the question whether the employers' liability insurance coverage is limited to $100,000, as specified in the policy, or unlimited. In this case we conclude that it is limited.
