Cain grants partial summary judgment to an insurance company in a breach of insurance contract by two southwestern Louisiana homeowners who allege their carrier’s payments for damages from Hurricane Laura in 2020, were inadequate and untimely. Specifically, the insurer seeks summary judgment on its argument that the insured may not recover repair costs in excess of the $72,292 for which they have submitted proof and may not rely on estimates to prove the amount of damages for any repairs that have been completed. The homeowners both testified, however, that certain repairs have yet to be addressed, including the garage, attic and kitchen. They have therefore created an issue of fact as to the completion status of repairs. They are limited to the costs reflected in their invoices for completed repairs but may rely on estimates for other work.
