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.

Levy v. Phillips and Jordan,
Inc. and U.S. Army Corp of Engineers
Trial Court grants MSJ for Indemnification - Ungarino & Eckert filed a
Motion for Summary Judgment against the
City of New Orleans seeking an order that the City of New Orleans must
indemnify our client. Likewise, the City of New Orleans filed a Motion for
Summary Judgment against our client seeking an order that the City of New
Orleans does not owe indemnification.
We were successful in convincing the federal judge that when the
mayor issued an executive order that the City would indemnify all
sub-contracts against all claims whatsoever arising from the debris
removal activities that included tree removal and therefore we were
successful with our indemnification argument. (6/29/11)
