Louisiana Court of Appeal May 2, 1972, No. 4776 (Milton v. Main Mutual Insurance)

SAMUEL, Judge.

Plaintiff filed this suit against her automobile insurer for the total loss of her car. Damage to the car was due primarily to rising water which flooded the vehicle during Hurricane Betsy on September 9, 1965. The defense is that the policy does not cover loss due to flood or rising water. After a trial on the merits, the lower court awarded plaintiff $3,525.
