The Mississippi Supreme Courtroom denied USAA’s Movement for Rehearing final week within the landmark dangerous case involving USAA arising out of Hurricane Katrina. This has the impact of creating the judgment and dangerous religion regulation ultimate in Mississippi. I beforehand reported on this case in Hurricane Katrina Declare Results in Vital Punitive Damages Award—Mississippi Acknowledges Frequent Regulation Obligations of Good Religion, and USAA Slammed For $10 Million Dangerous Religion Award.
The ruling made information in Mississippi’s native media. MS Supreme Courtroom Declines to Rehear Landmark USAA Katrina Insurance coverage Case, famous:
A 2022 jury discovered that USAA refused to pay a number of respectable claims for property harm loss brought on by Hurricane Katrina. Within the case, USAA illegally denied the claims for years, hid engineering reviews favorable to the house owner, and delayed paying even these claims it acknowledged owing for years.
‘USAA’s conduct was egregious,’ said legal professional Jim Reeves, who prosecuted the case alongside legal professional David Baria. ‘USAA took benefit of weak owners who misplaced their residence and had paid premiums for years and deliberately and repeatedly denied claims it knew had been respectable. . . .’
USAA may enchantment any federal due course of points associated to the punitive harm award to the US Supreme Courtroom. My prediction is that it’s going to accomplish that. I’ll maintain readers abreast of these developments. If USAA doesn’t accomplish that, this may lastly put an finish to Hurricane Katina litigation.
