Facts
Blish's vehicle blew a tire, and while he was changing it two unknown men attacked, beat, and robbed him. He filed a claim with Atlanta Casualty under his auto insurance policy. Atlanta Casualty denied the claim on grounds that Blish was not occupying the vehicle when he was attacked. Blish sued, but the trial judge dismissed the case. The Fifth District affirmed.
