A large insurance company is taking Cayuga County and its district attorney to court over a car accident that took place this year in New Jersey.
The county received notice earlier this month that Allstate Insurance Company is suing the county and District Attorney Jon Budelmann for $9,494 over a Jan. 23 accident. According to the complaint, Budelmann was driving a county-owned vehicle at the time on Interstate 80 in Warren County, N.J., when his vehicle and that of Jeanne Zecchine collided.
According to the complaint filed Sept. 4 in Warren County, N.J. court, the requested sum would cover damage to Zecchine's vehicle. Allstate, Zecchine's insurance provider, will also seek court and attorney fees as part of the suit.
Budelmann said Monday that Zecchine's vehicle swerved into his lane and struck his vehicle. He was traveling on that highway after attending a New York State District Attorneys Association meeting in New York City, he said.
This is the first Budelmann has heard of the accident since the county handed the claim to the insurance company in January, he said.
“I assumed the insurance company had been handling it,” Budelmann said.
Budelmann does not have a personal, county-owned vehicle, he said, and was issued the vehicle for that specific meeting.
The county has 35 days to respond to the complaint.
