All risks claimant is required by law to prove cause of event for insurance claim (US)

The claimant was insured under an all-risks insurance policy covering a vessel. The policy did not cover engine damage unless an accidental external event caused the damage. The vessel suffered catastrophic engine failure. The court held that the insured had to come forward with evidence that an external event caused the engine damage and the claim therefore failed.
