Federal Judge Dismisses Declaratory Judgment Claim Against Insurer In Lead Suit

ST. LOUIS - A Missouri federal judge on Nov. 1 granted an insurer's motion to dismiss a declaratory judgment claim alleged against it by another insurer in a coverage dispute stemming from injuries sustained as result of an insured's lead-smelting operations after determining that the declaratory judgment claim is not ripe because no claim for indemnification has been filed (Zurich American Insurance Co. v. Fluor Corp., et al., No. 16-429, E.D. Mo., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 189843).
