Ark Encounter Sues Insurers for Not Covering $1,000,000 Worth of . . . . . . . Rain Damage

"I swear to Jesus this is true: Ark Encounter is suing its insurance providers for not covering — wait for it — rain damage.

Noah thought ahead. But not Ken Ham, apparently.

According to the 13-page lawsuit, Ark Encounter, which opened in 2016, suffered the effects of a heavy rain that began in May of 2017 and continued for several months.

That rain created a landslide which damaged a major access road to the Ark, rendering it “unsafe and unfit for use.” It cost about $1,000,000 for Ark Encounter (and its parent company, Crosswater Canyon) to fix the road. Naturally, they wanted their insurers to pay for it.

But the [five] insurers said no. According to them, their contract with Ark Encounter excluded payments for “correcting design deficiencies or faulty workmanship.” Ark Encounter said that clause didn’t apply because “land improvements” (which is how they classified the road fixes) were an exception to that rule.

The insurers paid for some of the damage that they felt they covered, but that’s it. They don’t want to pay more. Now Ken Ham’s group is suing for the rest.

The Courier Journal already knows you’re laughing about this:

… to Ark Encounter’s lawyer, Amanda Brooke Stubblefield, at the Cincinnati firm Keating, Muething & Klekamp, the suit is no laughing matter. “We are not going to comment to the press on this case,” she said.
Please comment, Ken. For once, I can’t wait to hear what you have to say.

So, just desserts or not?

Twenty bucks says Ken Ham will start looking for pairs of animals in mating season to load up his Ark with after this heavy rain.

Stuff like this just cannot be made up. Perhaps releasing a pigeon to see if it will return with a check is the next move.

Not only does Hamm never read the actual bible?

He apparently also fails to read insurance policies...

Now really-- who here is surprised Hamm doesn't read?

Had the Ark Encounter's damaged access road been of faulty design or substandard quality?

This topic has no reason to be in Evolution vs Creationism. Perhaps current events?
Partially to bump this thread which definitely deserves one since I answered this elsewhere:

Because believers in the Ark myth tend to be creationists as well. In fact I do not know of any believers in creationism that do not accept the Ark myth. The opposite is not necessarily so. There are some OEC's that do not accept the Ark myth but still belief in creationism.

I'll repost the same rebuttle.

It has nothing to do with a lawsuit between the park owner and insurance companies.:facepalm:

Oh my! You don't know what a rebuttal is either. It is too funny.

Fixed it for ya. At least I know what English is though.

Edit: Will not edit the post itself. But it appears "It is to laugh" is a phrase after all, so I was wrong. My apologies.

You should retire for the night before you make it worse.

That you did not understand my correction of your mistaken correction is not surprising. You can't be serious that you have never heard the phrase:

"It is to laugh."

Once again, a finger bounce that I did not pick up due to my spell checker passing it, I made an error. You made another error in trying to correct it. A perfect example of Muphry's Law by the way.

The subject of insurance....force majeure, co-insurance, waivers of subrogation, etc.
This is exciting!

Seriously,

Never heard of it in 41 years across spread across 2 continents 15 different countries, and countless states and cities.
