Leritz
BENTON – Swansea Rural King sued Travelers insurance companies for coverage of a dog bite suit without possessing a contract to support its claim.
On Jan. 26, Rural King counsel James Leritz of St. Louis advised U.S. Magistrate Reona Daly that, “plaintiffs are attempting to locate such a contract.”
On Feb. 2, Travelers counsel Richard Valentino of Chicago replied that, “if such a contract exists they would have been a party to it and thus had a copy.
“Plaintiffs ask the court to allow them to take discovery so they can develop a good faith basis for a suit they already filed.”
