United States Fifth Circuit
Stewart Enters., Inc. v. RSUI Indemn. Co., 09-30722
In an action by an owner of cemeteries, funeral homes and other commercial properties throughout New Orleans against its excess insurer to recover for wind and flood damage sustained during a storm, partial summary judgment for defendant is reversed where: 1) under Louisiana law, ambiguities in the policy are to be interpreted in favor of the insured and thus the policy provided flood coverage; and 2) the policies' anti-concurrent causation clause did not operate within the $25 million dollar limit.
