Arbitrator Rules for Policyholder on Meaning of "Absolute"
Pollution Exclusion
October 27, 2003. GMT represented the Bainbridge Island School
District in an insurance coverage dispute with the Washington Schools
Risk Management Pool. The parties disagreed regarding the applicability
of the so-called "absolute" pollution exclusion to a claim
brought against the District for injuries allegedly suffered by a
former student as a result of exposure to solvent vapors. Today, the
arbitrator issued a ruling in favor of the District, finding the exclusion
inapplicable to a bodily injury claim "rooted in [alleged] negligence."
Chuck Gordon and Jim Murray represented the School District. |
