Lionsgate sues Fireman's Fund over insurance claim
Lawsuit filed
Lionsgate sued Fireman's Fund Insurance in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking $1.62 million after alleging the insurer refused to reimburse losses from the Robin Hood production that Lionsgate says were covered by its policy. Fireman's Fund argued that rebate and tax-incentive payments justified reducing the amount owed.
