Victory in Hurricane Katrina Case
July 20, 2009

The Firm successfully represented a homeowner’s insurer in a suit arising out of damage to the plaintiff’s home during Hurricane Katrina. The plaintiffs alleged that the insurance company was responsible for the negligent and fraudulent acts of a local insurance agent. Following briefing and oral argument by Helen Alford and Brian Murphy, the court found in favor of the insurance company and all claims against it were dismissed.  Since Hurricane Frederic in 1979, the Firm's lawyers have represented insurers in hurricane litigation all along the Gulf Coast, from Florida to Texas.
