According to court documents, subsidiaries of W.R. Berkley Corp. have filed a subrogation suit against the owner of the West, Texas fertilizer plant that exploded and destroyed much of the community.
Insurers involved in one of two lawsuits filed against Adair Grain Inc., the parent of West Fertilizer Co., are Acadia Insurance Company, Continental Western Insurance Company, and Union Standard Insurance Company and Union Standard Lloyds, according to the suit. The companies insure individuals, churches and businesses affected by the massive blast April 17.
A Berkley spokesperson says the company had no comment, but according to the suit filed in McLennon County district court, Acadia insured a bank; Continental Western insured a car dealership; Union Standard Lloyds wrote a TV and appliance business, an auto supply store and a bakery; and Union Standard Insurance covered two churches and an inn.
