N.J. Court Seeking Ways to Expedite Sandy Flood Litigation Process

A New Jersey federal court is seeking ways to expedite litigation process for hundreds of flood insurance coverage-related cases that have been filed in wake of Superstorm Sandy. The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey announced it will hold a public hearing in March to discuss how to efficiently manage these cases. The court said it has received more than 600 lawsuits that target various insurers in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Write-Your-Own (WYO) Program and that more cases are expected to be filed.
