Insurance provider on the hook in fatal Howard High bathroom fight

A Delaware judge says an insurance company must extend liability coverage to a teenager who was convicted of criminally negligent homicide after a school bathroom attack that left a 16-year-old girl dead.

The judge ruled Wednesday that USAA Casualty Insurance Company must indemnify Trinity Carr under her mother’s homeowner’s policy, which covers claims for bodily injury.

Carr is a defendant in two lawsuits filed by the family of Amy Joyner-Francis.
