Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that a case against an WYO carrier under : the NFIP was improperly submitted to a jury because federal funds were at stake
  • stating that unless “FEMA explicitly notifies the insurance company of its intent not to defend or indemnify, FEMA is presumed to pay the litigation expenses and any resulting damages awards.”’
  • “[T]he line between a WYO company and FEMA is too thin to matter for the purposes of federal immunities such as the no-interest rule”
  • “If the individual is already covered and in the midst of a non- lapsed insurance policy, the interactions between the insurer and insured, including renewals of insurance, are ‘claims handling’ subject to preemption.”
