Description

Each of the plaintiffs were owners of property along the shore of Lake Erie. Each plaintiff was issued a standard flood insurance policy by the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The policies were renewed annually and were in effect in 1987. Plaintiffs allege that their properties were damaged during that year from causes covered by their flood insurance policies. Plaintiffs filed loss claims during this period of renewal. The claims were submitted to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), the fiscal agent of the NFIP, for processing. CSC requested GAB Business Services (GAB), an approved NFIP adjustor, to investigate the claims. GAB's report identified "gradual erosion" as the central cause of plaintiffs' losses. This report was processed through CSC, and the FIA denied plaintiffs' claims because their losses were caused by "gradual erosion."
