How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that one indicator of ambiguity under Georgia law is when \nearly identical or similar language has been construed differently by other courts\
- remanding the case after concluding that the exclusion was ambiguous, for the trial court to consider, if necessary, extrinsic evidence to determine the parties’ intent
- “There is a low threshold for establishing ambiguity in an insurance policy. ‘Ambiguity in an insurance contract is duplicity, indistinctiveness, uncertainty of meaning of expression, and words or phrases which cause uncertainty of meaning and may be fairly construed in more than one way.’”
