An insurance company for the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph that provided liability insurance to diocese in the 1970s says it should not have to pay damages for sexual abuse cases, KCUR reports.
In a federal court filing Friday, U.S. Fidelity and Guaranty Co. said the policies only cover injuries that were the result of accidents. According to KCUR, the company said that injuries that the diocese expected or intended were not covered.
In July 2013, Chicago Insurance Co. filed a similar federal lawsuit that it claimed it had no obligation to pay a $2.25 million settlement the diocese reached in a priest abuse settlement.
