Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens has called on the state’s insurance companies to expedite storm damage claims resulting from this weekend’s deadly tornadoes in South Georgia. Commissioner Hudgens visited the affected counties yesterday to assess the damage and meet with survivors. In the coming days, he plans to dispatch specialists from his Consumer Services Division to the area to assist survivors with their insurance needs. "Individuals in these areas have suffered devastating losses and should receive special consideration with regards to their insurance claims," Hudgens said.
