NORFOLK -- More bad news for families surprised whose homes were built with Chinese drywall.
Late Thursday, a federal judge in Norfolk ruled an insurance company did not have to pay a homeowner for damages caused by the drywall.
Judge Robert Doumar's ruling stated, however, the Court will not categorically rule out the possibility that other as-yet-unclaimed losses might be subject to coverage under the Policy's ensuing loss provisions.
The ruling could be cited by other insurance companies looking to deny claims.
Chinese drywall was used by the now-closed Venture Supply Company in Norfolk. The homeowner says it was responsible for corroding electronics and emitting an odor.
Some families are convinced it has led to health problems.
The government maintains the best fix is to remove it, but many homeowners say they can’t afford to do so.
