Put Another Log on the Fire
A lawyer for U.S. Sen. Trent Lott said Monday that State Farm Insurance Co. is destroying documents that could show the insurer has fraudulently denied thousands of claims by Lott and other policyholders whose homes were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.Zach Scruggs, one of Lott’s attorneys, says his client has a “good faith belief” that several State Farm employees in Biloxi are destroying engineering reports that gave conflicting conclusions about whether wind or water was responsible for storm damage.
Like thousands of Gulf Coast homeowners, Lott’s claim was denied because State Farm concluded that Katrina’s flood water demolished his beach-front Pascagoula home. State Farm says its policies do not cover damage from rising water, including wind-driven water.
Ya think someone would have had a little forethought ~ had the corporate image in mind and maybe paid off the Senator's claim? It's easier to screw over the little guys when the big guys are happy, duh.
