A man is suing Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. alleging the insurance company denied claims involving a house fire.
Brian J. Steele of Spencer filed the lawsuit initially in Roane Circuit Court before it was removed to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
Steele claims he purchased a house in West Virginia and two to three months later on March 26, he came home from the store to find his house on fire.
The fire department was called and the fire was put out, according to the suit.
Steele claims since the fire, the insurance company has treated him unfairly and has not followed the law, including an investigation that has required him to fill out a lot of paperwork that has nothing to do with the incident at hand.
"This unfair and unreasonable investigation has left me with no home and left to live in my own camper," Steele wrote in his complaint.
