Travelers has filed a lawsuit against State National Insurance Company in federal court, alleging that State National refused to uphold its additional insured obligations regarding a construction injury claim in the Bronx. The dispute stems from a worker’s injury at a NYCHA housing development, where Perennial Painting Solutions Corp. was subcontracted by Gilbane. Travelers, providing Gilbane’s general liability coverage, covered the defense but argues State National, Perennial’s insurer, should be primarily responsible due to additional insured clauses that State National has allegedly declined to honor multiple times.
