Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Co. has filed suit against a pair of insurance agents to recoup the money they allegedly pocketed from sales of policies to Goodwill Industries.

Philadelphia Indemnity is suing Broadus W. Marshall Jr., 57, and his son, Matthew P. Marshall, 26, according to the Macon Telegraph, seeking repayment of $135,904 that was supposed to be forwarded to the insurer in return for auto and business liability policies.

The Marshalls were arrested in December 2009 and charged with one count of insurance fraud after Georgia officials alleged they sold auto insurance policies to Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia, but kept the $152,062 in premiums paid for themselves.

Broadus Marshall’s attorney told the Telegraph that the suit is a result of the same “misunderstandings and misinformation” as the criminal charge generated from an investigation by the Georgia Department of Insurance.

Georgia regulators allege that in addition to failing to forward premiums to Philadelphia Indemnity, leading to a cancellation of Goodwill’s policy, the Marshall’s firm – Marshall Insurance Agency of Macon, Ga. – also charged Goodwill for a fake extension on its policy that was not approved by the insurer and did not exist on the company’s policy.

The Marshalls allegedly issued Goodwill a new certificate of insurance and new automobile insurance cards upon receiving funds for the extension, according to authorities, but both the certificate and the cards were fraudulent.

The suit also names as a defendants Scarbrough Insurance Agency, with which both Marshalls were affiliates at the time of the alleged fraud, and their own agency, the newspaper reported.
