Port Ship Service, Inc. v. Ellsworth Corp., Fireman's Fund Ins. Co. and Marcus Dunn

Trial court grants Motion for Summary Judgment on Peremption - U & E represented an insurance agent who did not procure flood insurance on commercial property policy. The insured testified that he requested flood insurance. The policy was issued without flood insurance just before Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. The agent filed a motion for summary judgment on peremption because the suit was not filed within one year of the issuance of the policy. The trial court granted the motion for summary judgment, thereby dismissing the agent. Agent was dismissed because the insured's claims were perempted after one year of issuance of policy, despite the argument that the agent owed a duty to advise the insured that flood insurance was not procured.
