Katrina Koverage? Fifth Circuit Says No. Again. Twice.

The Fifth Circuit today tossed two kinds of insurance coverage cases arising from hurricanes in 2005.  One involved damage to refrigerators and freezers from post-storm putrefaction of their contents.  Arias-Benn v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Ins. Co., No. 06-30771 (5th Cir. Aug. 6, 2007).   The other dealt with exclusion of "flood" damage from homeowner policies.  Chauvin v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., No. 06-30946 (5th Cir. Aug. 6, 2007).

The twin decisions accord with another one by the same court last week.

We don't need no stinkin' insurance.
