A class action lawsuit was filed Thursday against two travel
companies by a University of California at Berkeley law graduate after travel plans
were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic and refunds and insurance claims
were denied.
Guy Saperstein, the UC Berkeley graduate, filed the suit
against tour operator Thomas P. Gohagan and Company and trip insurer Travel
Guard over the cancellation of a cruise from Lisbon to London.
Gohagan allegedly will not refund the travelers’ money and
Travel Guard officials allegedly denied the travelers’ trip insurance claims.
The travelers, including many UC Berkeley graduates, apparently
paid thousands to book the trip but in March Gohagan and Company canceled the cruise
because of the pandemic.
Saperstein contends that Gohagan and Company and Travel
Guard both breached their contracts with the travelers. Lawyers for the travelers
allege that the cancellation of the trip was expected but so are refunds and insurance
benefits.
Neither company could be reached after hours for comment.
