A St. Clair County company says its insurance company owes it more than $450,000 for damages caused to its building after a fire. However, the insurance company is only willing to pay one-fifth of the damages caused to the building, according to the complaint.

Lavaland filed a lawsuit Feb. 8 in St. Clair County Circuit Court against Erie Insurance Exchange.

Lavaland claims it procured an insurance policy with Erie to cover its two-story commercial building located at 126 West A St. in Belleville.

On March 12, 2008, a roofing contractor unintentionally ignited and set the building's roof on fire, the suit states. The Belleville Fire Department arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire by drowning it with water, the complaint says. However, Lavaland claims the water used to put out the fire caused mold damage to the building.
