How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- explaining that the Court has subject-matter jurisdiction over causes of action “alleging impropriety in the investigation and adjustment” of a claim since they are “intimately related to the disallowance of [an] insurance claim”
- stating that current expenditures are limited to $5,000
- stating “when WYO companies deplete their net premium income, a phenomenon that occurs regularly because the companies must forfeit a significant portion of the proceeds from their premiums, they draw money from FEMA through letters of credit to disburse claims”
- “Although WYO companies have the responsibility of defending against claims, FEMA reimburses the WYO companies for their defense costs.”
- “[A]n insured’s flood insurance claims are ultimately paid by FEMA.”
