Texas Supreme Court
Providence Washington Insurance Company v. O. C. Proffitt
April 25, 1951150 Tex. 207
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that floodwaters constitute a "collision" under Coverage B-1 and that the policy's Coverage A limitation does not restrict liability under Coverage B-1, making the insurer liable for the loss. Justice Wilson dissented, arguing that the Coverage A limitation should also apply to Coverage B-1.
