Description

Debra Moore bought a house on the Matanuska River, and insured it under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP, or "the Program") through Allstate Insurance Company. Fearing her house would be condemned due to rising waters of the Matanuska River, Moore moved her house and filed for compensation. Moore received forty percent of the house's market value. Asserting that she had been promised more, she sued Allstate and its agent in state court on a variety of claims, including misrepresentation and fraud. The superior court, holding that federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over NFIP claims, granted summary judgment and attorney's fees to Allstate and its agent. We reverse because the federal government has not retained exclusive jurisdiction over fraud and misrepresentation claims against flood insurers.
