U.S. District Court Judge L.T. Senter Jr. this morning ordered State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. to pay policy limits to a Biloxi policyholder because the company failed to prove how much damage was caused by Hurricane Katrina's storm surge.

Senter also denied State Farm's motion to dismiss the possibility of punitive damages against the company.

Good news for Miss residents, but how will that translate to La.?

Cool. If they're going to pull out of town anyhow, they need to be taken to task.

Well, every case is taken by itself on its own merits so I don't know that it will have an effect. Perhaps some of the LA lawyers could comment.
