Attorney John Houghtaling discusses the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling striking down a flood exclusion denying coverage for widespread Katrina flooding. Although the federal appeals court found that the flood exclusions in the plaintiffs' policies unambiguously preclude their recovery, Houghtaling cautioned that the same issue is still pending before the Louisiana Supreme Court. A state court's ruling on Louisiana state court carries much precedent, said Houghtaling.
