Wiley Rein regularly works with and advises the major insurer trade associations, including the American Insurance Association (AIA), the Complex Insurance Claims Litigation Association (CICLA), the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC), and the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI), among others, on a wide variety of issues affecting the business of insurance. On the state and federal levels, we provide assistance in responding to legislative and regulatory initiatives.

Wiley Rein represented CICLA as amicus curiae in this appeal, where the Minnesota high court held that a claim arising out of carbon monoxide release was subject to the absolute pollution exclusion and the reasonable expectations doctrine did not apply.

Concluding that cooking grease is a “pollutant,” the Colorado high court found that the pollution exclusion barred coverage for a restaurant that routinely poured grease and cooking oil into the sewer on its property, prompting a sewer clean-up project in which the plaintiffs were injured as a result of hydrogen sulfide fumes emanating from the sewer.
