Lawsuits challenge insurance deadline
Friday, August 10th, 2007 LitigationA New Orleans nonprofit group has filed lawsuits urging Gov. Kathleen Blanco and Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon to extend the deadline for resolving hurricane insurance claims beyond Aug. 29. Katrina Justice filed the suits last week in Baton Rouge and New Orleans because it says that with the recovery going slowly, contractors in short supply and many people still waiting on Road Home money, most homeowners are not far enough along in rebuilding to know if their insurance checks were adequate.
