Faith Bible Missionary Church, Inc. v Church Mutual Insurance Co. S I.
Location: US District Court, W.D. Louisiana, Shreveport Division
Description: Allegedly, Faith Bible Missionary Church’s parsonage roof was damaged in a storm. Church Mutual tendered a payment, but the Church and its contractors assert that the damage was greater and the facility needed a new roof. The amount given by Church Mutual did not cover the roof repairs. The court will assess the record after the deadline.
Impact:
A church insurance provider failed to pay the necessary cost of damages from a story and now the church must go to court to settle the dispute.
This is an extremely costly process that requires excellent record keeping and a thorough understanding of the insurance policy that covers the church.
