As part of ongoing efforts to diligently pursue all available means of cost recovery for Minard Hall following the Dec. 27, 2009, collapse, NDSU has commenced a declaratory lawsuit against the North Dakota State Fire and Tornado Fund for a judicial interpretation of its insurance policy with the Fund.
The Fund has initially interpreted NDSU’s property damage insurance policy as not providing coverage for the collapse and has denied insurance coverage to NDSU for losses caused by the collapse.
NDSU believes it has coverage.
In addition to this action to determine insurance coverage, NDSU is continuing to look at whether others may be legally responsible for some or all of the losses resulting from the collapse.
NDSU is represented by Dan Hull with the Anderson Bottrell Law Firm of Fargo. Questions may be directed to Hull at (701) 235-3300.
