Barbara King sued American Family Insurance, her homeowners' insurance carrier, alleging that her home in Niles, Ohio, had been damaged as a result of construction projects at the nearby Niles McKinley High School. King's complaint alleged that equipment that had been used in the construction and excavation of the school parking lot had caused “significant vibrations.” According to King, these vibrations had caused damage to her home, including cracks, leaks and mold.
King sued American Family for “Violation of Contractual Rights” due to the carrier's denial of her insurance claim.
