Travelers Prevails In Ind. Condo Damage Coverage Fight
Law360 (February 1, 2021, 4:21 PM EST) An Indiana federal judge granted Travelers Indemnity Co. of America s bid to toss a breach of contract suit from Legend s Creek Homeowners Association, ruling that the condo owner s action came too late and it is now barred from seeking appraisal of its loss.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt said Friday that Legend s Creek failed to comply with its insurance policy s two-year limitations period and that an appraisal result does not impact the court s earlier decision that its suit is time-barred and will not allow it to claim more coverage.
