Description
Joseph T. Grissom, Jr., appeals an adverse final judgment in his suit to recover litigation expenses incurred in defending a claim for damages allegedly within the coverage of Grissoms liability insurance policy with Commercial Union Insurance Company based on its refusal to defend. The trial court denied Grissom relief on two grounds. First, the court ruled that the complaint in the original suit against Grissom did not allege facts constituting an insured "occurrence" or "accident" within policy coverage, so Commercial Union had no duty to defend. Second, the court ruled that this action was barred by the applicable statute of limitations because it was not timely brought within five years of the date Commercial Union declined coverage. Concluding that both of these rulings are erroneous, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
