As residents of the central Gulf Coast keep a watchful eye on  Hurricane Gustav, Tropical Storm Hannah takes her place in line in the Atlantic storm season, and the eve of the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina dawns, the New Orleans Times-Picayune has printed an analysis showing that, while plaintiffs in suits against insurers in hurricane claims had early success in trial courts, the appellate courts have been a steady friend to the insurers. Of course, followers of the appellate courts already knew that, as evidenced here in Louisiana v. Allstate Insurance Co.; here and here in Landry v. Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Co.; here, here, and here in Sher v. Lafayette Ins. Co.; here in In Re: Katrina Canal Breaches Litigation; and here in Louisiana v. AAA Insurance. And those are just the decisions designated for publication.
