An engineering company whose error led to two pedestrian bridge collapses in North Carolina in 2014 that left one worker dead and caused costly damage contends it is being unfairly denied $2 million in potential insurance coverage by its carrier due to what it claims is an “ambiguous” wording of the policy.
Raleigh-based Stewart Engineering is suing Continental Casualty Co., a unit of CNA, in federal court in North Carolina, arguing that the insurer is refusing to honor the terms of its policy that provides up to $5 million to cover multiple claims in a single year and is instead only offering $3 million.
