Megan McCarthy and Joe Wiley Mitchell intervened in a pending civil action in order to seek a declaratory judgment to determine whether or not coverage existed for a driver who was sued when he experienced an accident occurring on a commercial venture.

Summary judgment in favor of the carrier represented by Megan McCarthy and Joe Wiley Mitchell was entered in their favor in the Circuit Court of Russell County, which determined that the driver was not entitled to coverage under the policy in question.
