Judge denies insurance company’s bid to dismiss lava victims’ suit
HILO (HawaiiNewsNow) – A Big Island judge denied Monday an insurance company’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by an elderly couple whose Leilani Estates home was lost in the Kilauea eruptions.
Philip and Lanell Haysmer are suing insurance company Llyods of London.
The couple, who are in their seventies, say they paid $3,000 a year for insurance, but their claims were denied without an adjuster even visiting their property.
