A lawsuit over whether insurance companies must cover a Vermont man's claim for his boat he says sank with his mother on board is heading to trial this summer.
The Providence Journal reports that a judge on Wednesday set Aug. 12 as the start date for the National Liability & Fire Insurance Co. and the Boat Owners Association of the United States' challenge to Nathan Carman's $85,000 claim.
The insurance companies allege Carman committed fraud by deliberately sinking the 31-foot boat in September 2016 after he left Rhode Island on a fishing trip with his mother. Linda Carman was never seen again.
He denies the allegations and in a countersuit says the insurers breached their contracts.
Carman has been identified as a "person of interest" in the 2013 shooting death of his grandfather, which he denies.
