Allstate Insurance Co. is taking a New Jersey county and its district attorney to court over an auto accident involving one of its policyholders.
The suit seeks $9,494 for a Jan. 23 accident where Cayuga County District Attorney Jon Budelmann was driving a county-owned vehicle on Interstate 80 in Warren County, N.J., when it struck another vehicle driven by an Allstate customer, according to the Auburn Citizen.
The complaint, filed Sept. 4, in Warren County, says the requested sum would cover losses to Allstate’s customer. The insurer also will seek court and attorney fees as part of the suit, according to the report.
Budelmann told the Citizen the other vehicle swerved into his lane, striking him as he returned from a New York State District Attorneys Association meeting in a car issued to him by the county to attend the meeting. The district attorney added that the newspaper’s inquiry marked the first he heard about the suit, and that he assumed the county’s insurance company handled the claim.
