BEAUMONT — An insurance company is suing a Beaumont helicopter owner, alleging the defendant placed an unlawful claim.

StarStone National Insurance Company filed a lawsuit Aug. 4 in the Beaumont Division of the Eastern District of Texas against LaBelleCo Fab, Co. alleging failure to complete the policy conditions of the Aviation Policy Application.

It is represented by attorneys Richard A. Sparr, Jr. of Sparr & Geerdes Inc. in San Antonio and by Eric A. Laskowski and Clinton W. Lewis of The Lewis Law Firm in Beaumont.
