Description:

The paper discusses how hurricane Katrina highlighted the inadequacy of insurance coverages offered. The paper also reveals the fraud of insurance agencies in depriving homeowners of rightful payments. The paper examines the various lawsuits and legal issues and discusses the campaign waged by the insurance industry to keep the courts from making insurance policies and to keep judges adhering to pro-business policies. The paper shows how many federal and state laws are both confusing and contradictory and largely shaped for the benefit of the insurance companies.
