The Eagles have sued an insurance company in a dispute over what the NFL franchise is owed from a policy as a result of economic losses from the pandemic.
Since the pandemic forced shutdowns and continuing restrictions beginning last year, businesses small and large have been fighting in courts nationwide trying to collect on claims denied by insurers.
The Eagles join other professional sports franchises including the NBA’s Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, and Los Angeles Lakers as well as dozens of minor-league baseball teams seeking payouts from their insurers.
On March 11, the Eagles filed a 141-page complaint in the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court against Factory Mutual Insurance Co., which is based in Rhode Island.
