Allen v. Colonial Lloyd's Insurance Co.

GOTHARD, Judge.

Plaintiffs, Lorraine and Edward Allen, filed this tort action against Annette Hunter and her insurer, Colonial Lloyds Insurance Company (Colonial), as a result of an automobile accident which occurred on February 16, 1990. Plaintiffs supplemented their original petition to add their uninsured motorist earner, Allstate Insurance Company (Allstate), as a defendant.

Plaintiffs then substituted the Louisiana Insurance Guaranty Association (LIGA) as the defendant in place of the insolvent insurer.
