Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has filed a lawsuit against Travelers Casualty and Surety Co. over the insurer's denial of defense and indemnity costs for future asbestos-related claims.
According to the lawsuit moved from state court to the U.S. District Court in Western Pennsylvania, Goodyear seeks a declaratory judgment against Travelers for its alleged breach of contract on various primary and umbrella policies issued from the 1960s to the 1980s by Travelers and predecessor Aetna Casualty and Surety Co.
Goodyear says Travelers has stopped paying for defense and indemnity after Jan. 28, 2013.
