VFW’s insurance carrier denying claim over fatal wreck

Adam Childress is accused of murder after allegedly getting drunk at the VFW in Williamsburg and running over a man on a sidewalk. The case has sparked various litigation.

A case involving the death of a Williamsburg man, who was run over on a sidewalk in April by a man who had allegedly been drinking at VFW Post 3167 prior to the accident, has taken some unique turns in recent weeks.

The insurance carrier for VFW Post 3167 is suing the post in federal court in an attempt to avoid paying a claim related to the death. Also, the insurance carrier has officially been added as a defendant in the Whitley Circuit Court lawsuit against the VFW and the man charged with driving the vehicle.

In addition, the prosecutor in the criminal case is trying to keep lawyers for the victim’s estate from taking the deposition of an officer, who helped investigate the case, and is trying to prevent civil attorneys from getting their hands on evidence in the criminal case.
