The insurance carrier for the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego filed a lawsuit Friday contending that because the diocese violated the terms of its insurance policies, the company should not have to pay out any money to settle claims from hundreds of people alleging they were victims of sexual abuse by clergy over the last several decades.
However, many of the 400 claims that are currently pending in San Diego Superior Court allege clergy abuse in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, said Irwin Zalkin, the lawyer representing more than 100 claimants. Those statements were made without consulting with the insurance company, violating the “duty to cooperate” under the policy and “effectively placed an unreasonable baseline on the value on the potential settlement value of these claims,” according to the lawsuit.
The suits are all coordinated in a single action under a judge in downtown Superior Court, though the exact number of claims isn’t known. A spokesperson for the court said it does not track nor have a running tally of the number of clergy abuse cases that have been filed.
