Federal Insurance Co.

Federal Insurance Company v. Illinois Funeral Director's Association, et al.

Case No. 09-CV-01634, N. D. Ill.

Federal Insurance Company has provided business insurance, including coverage for directors and officers, to IFDA since 2005. On March 16, 2009, it filed a lawsuit against IFDA, alleging it should not have to pay the claims associated with both our lawsuit and a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Kane County which alleges similar misconduct by IFDA with relation to the Preneed Trust. (See Dunkle et al v. IFDA Services, et al, Case No. 06 L 682, Kane County, IL for more information.)

On May 11, 2009, Wexler Wallace filed a Motion to Intervene in this action in order to protect the rights of our client funeral directors and other funeral directors around the state of Illinois. We are seeking leave to intervene to ensure that the insurance proceeds at issue in this action are available as they should be.
