Ice Vault owner sues insurers over arena collapse
The owners of a Hallowell ice arena that collapsed last year are suing three insurance companies in connection with the March 2011 incident.
The lawsuit filed in Kennebec County Superior Court, according to the Kennebec Journal, names as defendants Gosline Insurance Group of Gardiner, Niagara Risk Management Inc. of Buffalo, N.Y., and Willis of (Portsmouth) New Hampshire Inc.
The suit, filed by the same corporate entity that reopened the rink as the Bank of Maine Ice Vault in June, alleges that insurance policies with those companies did not provide adequate coverage limits and failed to adjust replacement costs for inflation, though the paper reported that the lawsuit does not specify dollar amounts.
Niagara and Willis have responded to the complaint, the paper reported, and Niagara has denied the allegations and filed suit against the two other companies in connection with the arena's collapse.
