“We note that the current law in this circuit is found in Sturcke v. Clark, 261 So.2d 717 (La.App. 4 Cir.1972). In Sturcke , a defendant driver involved in an automobile accident had paid his insurer, Carver General Insurance Company, a premium for both collision and liability insurance. Due to a clerical error, Carver failed to issue a liability policy to the driver. The plaintiffs insurer filed a third party action against Carver to enforce the contract for liability insurance as a third party beneficiary to the policy. The court noted that although Carver was not an insurer liable to the plaintiff under R.S. 22:655, “it did undertake an obligation for the benefit of third parties like plaintiff, La. C.C. art. 1890 and plaintiff therefore had a right of action_” Id. at 721 . Thus, the law of this circuit supports a cause of action to enforce insurance contracts by third party beneficiaries to those contracts. La. R.S. 22:655 establishes that an injured party is a third party beneficiary to an insurance policy.”
