Another win for the Hicks Thomas Insurance Coverage team building on a prior victory.

On a matter of first impression, the Fifth Circuit held that commercial general liability insurers had no duty to defend an insured against claims alleging a violation of the federal Anti-Terrorism Act, finding the pleadings did not allege a potentially covered occurrence.

The court relied heavily on another recent victory of our team in Discover Property & Casualty Co. v. Blue Bell Creameries USA, Inc., 73 F.4th 322 (5th Cir. 2023), which also held that the insurer had no duty to defend.

Courtney E. Ervin argued the case, with J. Stephen Barrick assisting.
