BRIEF: Rental company suing The Greenbrier for property damaged during flood

Dec. 13--A Tennessee rental company has filed suit against The Greenbrier, alleging the hotel failed to pay for rental equipment damaged June 23, 2016 -- the same day the area was impacted by severe floodwaters.

Special Event Service and Rental (SESR) Inc., of Shelby County, Tenn., filed a complaint Dec. 4 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia against The Greenbrier Hotel Corporation, Old White Charities and John Doe Insurance Companies 1-20.

The complaint said when the equipment was lost, The Greenbrier submitted an insurance claim in September and received a nearly $623,000 insurance reimbursement, but did not transfer the funds to SESR.

The Tennessee company demands a trial by jury and is seeking full repayment, compensatory and punitive damages, interest and attorney's fees.

The Greenbrier and other parties named in the suit have not yet filed a response.
