The nightmare of last year's Good Friday twister continues for one Bridgeton couple who lost their home and their business.
Dan and Tona C said they paid their insurance premiums on their house for 13 years, but their insurance company left them without a home for their family, and without a business.
The couple said State Auto refused to pay their claim, or the work it had already approved to start rehabilitating the house. Now they are suing the company and their insurance agent.
Rick Egelhoff, owner of Advanced Restoration, said his company has put $15,000 of work into the home, but has not been paid a dime.
"Every day goes by it gets worse, " C said. "What could be rebuilt and salvagable 10 months ago is now water-soaked and beginning to rot out."
State Auto said the couple breached their contract because they left the home for several months while Tona recovered from heart surgery.
