MS: Suit Seeks Insurance Denials
A Gulf Coast resident is appealing to the State Supreme Court to have access to records showing the total dollar amount denied by insurance companies to post-Katrina policy holders.
“We just think people have the right to know this information,” said Bay St. Louis attorney Edward Gibson, who has agreed to handle the appeal. “Mr. Buckel is a concerned citizen who is bearing the responsibility to try to get this information out there.”
Buckel is trying to find out the amount of Katrina claims denied to bolster his push for the state Legislature to pass a Policyholders Bill of Rights. The legislation has died in committee for the past three years. Bills are expected to be introduced again in 2010.
