Served as amicus counsel to a natural gas distributor in successfully persuading the Georgia Court of Appeals to reverse a trial court’s decision that had barred coverage for a natural gas accident on the basis of a standard pollution exclusion. The Court of Appeals held, to the contrary, that natural gas was not a “pollutant,” the worker’s injuries did not “arise out of” the discharge of a pollutant where the pollutant was not the “but for” cause of the injuries, and it would violate public policy to sell a liability policy to a natural gas company that excluded coverage for natural gas accidents.
