Heading: Claim for Damages Caused by Home Inspection

Text: State Farm also was entitled to summary judgment on Styron’s claim that the damage to his residence was aggravated when a State Farm inspector walked on his roof during an investigation. Styron testified that he noticed more leaking after State Farm conducted its roof inspection and “assume[d]” that further damage was caused by the inspector walking across the roof. There is no other evidence in the record to support this claim. “[T]estimony based on conjecture alone is insufficient to raise an issue to defeat summary judgment.” Lechuga v. Southern Pac. Transp. Co., 949 F.2d 790, 798 (5th Cir. 1992). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Styron, we conclude that there is no genuine issue as to whether the damage to the roof was exacerbated by the inspection.
