Publix Super Markets, Inc. v. Ace Property and Casualty Insurance Co., et al. United States District Court Middle District of Florida Tampa Division. Case No: 8:22-cv-2569-CEH-AEP

The Court granted Publix Super Markets, Inc.’s renewed unopposed motion for final judgment, finding that the opioid lawsuits do not allege damages “because of bodily injury” under Florida law, thus no coverage is provided under the insurance policies. The Court’s reasoning relied on the policy language and the precedent set in Gelboim v. Bank of Am. Corp., 547 U.S. 405 (2015).
