ELGIN BAYLOR SUES OVER LEAKY ROOF: NBA legend blames insurance company for
The retired sports icon's Beverly Hills home was battered by a "violent rainstorm" in February 2008, which caused a bad leak in his roof that damaged several rooms in the house, reports TMZ.com.
He claimed insurance for the leak and was granted a payout from the unnamed firm. Baylor alleges investigators at the company contacted him months later wanting to run tests on the roof – but the builder they hired reportedly caused more damage to the home, according to TMZ.
In legal papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, Baylor claims insurers "failed to repair damages from the testing, leaving holes and openings in the structure."
The dispute remained unresolved in February 2009, when a new storm led to further damage to Baylor's home. He's suing executives at the insurance company and the builder involved for unspecified damages.
