Ellison finds that a homeowner whose house was damaged in a flood and now disputes the cost of the damages with his insurance company has not provided sufficient evidence on several of his claims. Many of the claims are based on the estimates of an insurance adjuster that the homeowner hired however the court grants the insurance company’s motion to strike the homeowner’s expert because the expert refuses to provide his resume or other qualifications. The insurance company’s own expert indicated that the damage compensation provided by the insurance company is inadequate to so a dispute of fact as to the cost of the damages exists. The homeowner’s claims based on his own repairs and the dispute of fact can proceed but the insurance company is granted summary judgment on all other claims.
