Katrina claims – revisited

With the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the handling of Katrina claims continues to be in the news.  Tonight’s episode of 20/20 will feature the claims of two former State Farm insurance adjusters who believe State Farm committed fraud in the handling of Katrina claims.  Among other things, the adjusters allege that State Farm hid engineering reports that would have supported coverage for policyholders and pressured other engineers to make findings beneficial to the company, including telling engineers that their invoices would not be paid if reports were not changed.

It will be interesting to see what, if any, reaction anti-lawsuit reporter John Stossel will have to his own show’s story.
