Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton is asking for at least $75,000 from the homeowners’ association of the gated community where her teenage son was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, court documents show.
Documents filed by the gated community’s insurance company, Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America, show that Fulton filed a claim related to her son’s death against its policy with a $1 million limit. The insurer issued its year-long policy to the gated community, Retreat at Twin Lakes, on March 30. Martin was shot about a month earlier on Feb. 26.
Travelers has asked the court to relieve it of its duty to defend the claim, saying an exclusion clause in its policy contract absolves it of paying for losses caused by or resulting in bodily injury.
