Metoyer v. Auto Club Family Insurance Co.

536 F.Supp.2d 664 (2008)

Facts

P sustained damage to his New Orleans home as a result of Hurricane Katrina and filed suit to recover `sums alleged due under his insurance contract with D. P has recovered $57,907.62 from D for covered losses (i.e., wind) and $128,000 from flood insurer Allstate for structural damages. P was awarded a $150,000 grant from the Louisiana Recovery Authority ('LRA') to rebuild his home and a $10,000 grant from the U.S. Small Business Association. P argues that the LRA funds constitute a collateral source, and therefore he seeks to have any evidence of LRA funds excluded from evidence so as not to taint the jury.
