Duke University Sues Insurer Over Lacrosse Controversy Claims

Story here. Excerpt:

'Duke University has filed a lawsuit against its insurer, demanding that the company cover the costs of its settlement with three former lacrosse players who were falsely accused of rape.
...
"Because National Union has not paid, Duke has been forced to bear the full financial impact of its own defense,'' Duke attorneys wrote in the lawsuit.

Along with the settlement provided to the three players -- Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans -- more than 40 unindicted players from the 2006 lacrosse team have since sued the university. The former lacrosse coach, Mike Pressler, has also sued the school.'
