Catholic archdiocese sues insurer over failure to pay claims in sex abuse cases

A Connecticut Roman Catholic Archdiocese is taking its insurance company to court, the latest of several to respond to carriers who have refused to pay claims related to lawsuits against church officials for sexual assault.
The case, which opened Friday in New Haven, alleges that Allianz subsidiary Interstate Fire & Casualty Co. breached its contract with the Archdiocese of Hartford by refusing to reimburse the archdiocese for payments made in four settlements between 2010 and 2012. The church claims the insurer previously reimbursed payments made in other abuse settlements.
