Thirty-eight more Hurricane Katrina insurance cases of Mississippi residents have been settled during court-order mediation, says U.S. District Judge L.T. Senter Jr. More mediations will begin in May, according to Senter's office. Some cases also might be sent to a new nonbinding arbitration process established by Insurance Commissioner George Dale. Mississippi Department of Insurance records show that of the 3,381 cases sent to its program, 2,797, or 83 percent, have been settled. Mediations ordered in U.S. District Court totaled 153 with 74 settled, or 48 percent.
