A major insurance settlement will bring another $15 million to victims of child sexual abuse in the Diocese of Duluth, N.D., the Duluth News Tribune. The settlement with Continental Insurance Company will more than double the pool of funds made available for the 125 claimants in the diocese's bankruptcy, increasing the total to $24.2 million. The agreement, filed on Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, makes Continental the fourth of five insurers to come to terms with the diocese, which filed suit in June 2016 to force coverage of claims. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Kressel is expected to approve the agreement at a June 28 hearing, along with the $250,000 settlement reached with Church Mutual Insurance Company last week.
