How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that “[w]here conclusions of law present mixed questions of fact and law — that is, where conclusions of law are dependent upon the facts and circumstances of a particular case — we review such conclusions of law” under the clearly erroneous standard (citation omitted)
• finding insured’s contention that he did not intentionally cause bodily injury meant that the injury resulted from an “accident,” rather than an intentional act, thus raising the potential for coverage and implicating the insurer’s duty to defend
• “ ‘where the statutory language is plain and unambiguous, our sole duty is to give effect to its plain and obvious meaning’ ”
