Dodger right fielder chasing down flood damage settlement
Reprints
Major League Baseball player Yasiel Puig is swinging for the fences —this time against his insurer.
The Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder has reportedly sued Lexington Insurance Co. for failing to fully pay his claim after a refrigerator malfunction in November 2015 flooded his 6-bedroom, 5½-bathroom mansion in Miami. The malfunction caused extensive damage in excess of $15,000.
Mr. Puig quickly reported the incident to and received a claim number from Lexington, which responded with an unspecified partial payment, but has not fully compensated him for the damage under his $2 million insurance policy, according to a TMZ report.
The 25-year-old outfielder, who defected from Cuba and signed with the Dodgers for $42 million in 2012, made his major league debut for the team in June 2013 and has a lifetime batting average of .294, with 46 home runs and 149 runs batted in.
He’s hoping to hit home run number 47 off of Lexington.
