Months after San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow received an $18-million judgment over the brutal beating he received at Dodgers Stadium, he is suing the L.A. team again.

In his new lawsuit, filed Monday, Stow alleges that the Dodgers, his former employer and their insurance providers failed to provide enough medical coverage for him.

In July, a jury awarded Stow millions after weeks of testimony for damages stemming from the attack at Dodger Stadium.

Stow had attended opening day on March 31, 2011, when he was attacked by Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood. The pair was ultimately convicted of assaulting Stow, and were also ordered to pay a share of the $18-million judgment.

Stow, a father of two young children, is permanently disabled, requiring around-the-clock medical care for the rest of his life.

Stow is seeking damages for “fraudulent” actions by his employer, the Dodgers and their insurance providers. He claims his health insurance, Anthem Blue Cross of California, stopped covering his live-in care facility, Centre for Neuro Skills.

Now that he is no longer receiving care at the facility, he has “suffered serious regression in his rehabilitation,” according to the lawsuit.

His employer, Envision, provided benefits through American Medical Response, which it operated and where Stow worked as a paramedic in Santa Cruz.

The Dodgers and their coverage provider, ACE Insurance, purchased Anthem’s $3.4-million lien for the medical treatment at a reduced amount of $1.8 million from his employer without first talking to him, according to the lawsuit.

Stow claims the Dodgers and ACE are now trying to “fraudulently” recover $3.4 million from Stow.

The lawsuit alleged that the defendants were seeking “to make a profit from [Stow’s] medical treatment even though the lien was already paid for.
