Travelers Insurance, the subsidiary of St. Paul, Minn.-based insurer St. Paul Travelers, has been hit with a $28.7 million lawsuit for breech of contract over its refusal to pay for repairs to St. Charles General Hospital in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
In a lawsuit filed May 23 in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, the hospital charged that Travelers failed to provide payments to Building Concepts & Designs Construction Inc. (BCDC) to make the required repairs.
BCDC, based in Florida, was contracted by the hospital to repair the building and handle the insurance contacts.
