(May 21, 2019, 10:31 AM EDT) -- NEW ORLEANS — The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on May 17 affirmed a lower federal court’s ruling in favor of a federal flood insurer and an insurance agent in an insured’s lawsuit arising from flood damage, finding that the insured’s flood claim is untimely under the policy because he failed to sue within one year of the insurer’s written denial (Al Cohen v. Allstate Insurance Co., et al., No. 18-20330, 5th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 14714)....
