Final arguments and testimony ended yesterday in the first trial over an insurer's use of flood exclusion policy language to deny a Mississippi homeowner's claims for Hurricane Katrina damages.
The case involving Nationwide Insurance was tried before U.S. District Court Judge L.T. Senter Jr. in Gulfport, Miss. Judge Senter, who heard the case without a jury, now must render a verdict.
Judge Senter is due to receive post-trial briefs within the next seven days and issue his ruling sometime after that.
