Merchants Co. v. Am. Motorists Ins. Co., 794 F.Supp. 611, 617 (S.D. Miss. 1992) (“To decide whether American had a duty to defend Merchants, the Court must determine whether there is a potential for liability under the policies for the allegations raised in the Alabama action. In short, the Court must decide whether there is coverage for the allegations of the Amended Complaint in the Alabama action. In this connection, the Court notes that the duty to defend is determined not only from the language of the complaint but also from independent facts of which the insurer is made aware or becomes aware which create a potential of liability.”).
