Ludwig finds for the insurance company in a coverage dispute between itself, a third-party insurance company and a manufacturer that sustained severe damages to its Nashville warehouse and losses of inventory due to historic flooding in 2021. The insurance company's motion for summary judgment is granted, as the pollution exclusion clause under the excess liability policy it issued to the manufacturer clearly precludes coverage of the costs of cleaning up "pollutant" debris from the flood, leaving it no duty to indemnify. The third-party insurance company and manufacturer's motions for summary judgment are partially granted, in part because the third-party company's policy with the manufacturer covers debris clean-up costs of up to $10 million regardless of distance from the warehouse.
