    Attention all would-be politicos in the insurance industry, come help me twist the truth and you shall sit aside the throne of the next Gov!

    This guy needs to hire a couple of insurance consulting professionals to explain how much of an *** he is making of himself. The policy language is very clear…once you actually read it.

    Perhaps he is more interested in garnering attention for himself than truth and justice.

    It seems to me that if he had any proof of any quality he wouldn\’t need to be trolling for disgruntled employees.

    … and the honest law abiding public is looking for a few good insiders to help in the investigation into crooked politicians and attorneys general.

    George Dale, the Mississippi Insurance Commissioner authorized the insurance companies to underwrite policies of insurance in the state of Mississippi. He and/or his staff reviewed and approved the filings of every insurance company that does business in that state. Premium rates attached to the prescribed policy were reviewed and approved by the insurance commissioner. Though I recognize that as a Constitutional Officer his office holds no authority to \”prosecute\” those he regulates it would be beneficial if he made a public comment consistent with and in support of Mr. Hood\’s actions. His actions (efforts toward mediation) do not appear to support Mr. Hood\’s efforts.

    Mr. Hood thought the insurance carriers and agents were misleading the public regarding their duties and obligations under the policy. Sir, I am wondering what political office you are seeking beyond that which you currently hold. My impression is that it is you who is providing the citizens of Mississippi with a false sense of hope. As Attorney General of the state of Mississippi you are attempting to dilute the confidence of the citizenry even more than these devastating hurricanes.

    The tactic he is employing is the very same as Plaintiff Attorney Scruggs. Unfortunately for Mr. Hood, if it is compensation these \”whistle-blowers\” are seeking the plaintiff counsel will hold a distinct advantage.

    The only victims in this are the people who hold this Attorney General at some level of esteem or those who suffer from a false sense of hope.

    Now that\’s he\’s been called out for the accusations he\’s made by the IAA, he\’s looking for a material witness to colaborate his slanderous statements. Good luck finding one and the judges that would all vote in his favor because they had property affected by the storm, they\’d better think twice now that they\’ve been liabled, by the AG. What a piece of work.

    Perhaps an appropriate new name for him could be Jim-John Dean Spitzer Hood.

    Just one question-
    If the policies are so freaking easy to read, then why do agents have to attend special schools, classes, and forums, then pass a state-mandated test to become licensed to sell this invisible and disappearing product?

    It seems to me that AG Hood\’s actions are merely a ploy to try to force insurers to compromise and provide some coverage for excluded losses. Perhaps the great state of Mississippi should allow the insurers to re-rate the policies of all Missipippians to include flood and charge them all for the deficient premiums on a retroactive basis.
    The resulting clamor of the policyholders would force AG Hood to abandon his politically motivated gambit.

    See post #12–By \’margar\’…

    \”Pricing during any given storm will have it,s fluctuations that we all know. The same can be said of the staff hired by the carrier to examine our files .

    However It is obvious to all of us exactly what goes on during these catastrophe,s.

    A lot of these carriers are chopping these estimates to pieces .

    They are rolling the dice that a lot of these insureds will take thers settlement patch the roof , touch up the water stained walls, Call the local carpet cleaner and then take the remains of what is left load up the family and go on a nice little vacation.

    That is not the point here when I am inspecting a loss with the insured. It is my opinion that It is the responsibility of the provider to repair or replace to the pre-existing condition. Often I have made it a point to voice this to the insured. If I am doing work for a Carrier I tend to make a good case for the Carrier. There have been times when I have regretted this when I get a call back from the insured only to hear I thought you said I would be taken careof .

    The longer I do this the more I seem to learn. The best thing for me to do is keep my mouth shut and give them the line about how it will be submitted for review to you ins. company for further review.

    Call me old fashioned but sometimes I just can,t help myself I still beleive that some how everybody is just going to do what,s right

    The almighty dollar has a way of distorting things!\”

    Allstate and State Farm, in Texas, are now (as of 3-22-2006) claiming that broken sealant tar bonds on asphalt roofing shingles, that keep one shingle bonded to the one below it, IS NOT wind damage to the shingle…

    Shingle manufacturers strongly disagree.

    Too, insurers absolutely know better and our files show they are [irrationally and unfairly] redefining shingle damage which can easily mislead property damaged policyholders in Texas, and also, Florida.

    Now untold thousands of homeowners are at a much higher risk of further, and more complex, storm damage because of such loss \”adjusting\” practices…
