> Business interruption If you're unable to run your business due to a covered peril (fire, storm damage, vandalism and so on), business interruption insurance will replace lost income, pay ongoing expenses and pay costs involved in getting you set up in a temporary facility.
> Foreign-product liability This coverage applies to losses that occur because of difficulties involved in distributing or acquiring items that are manufactured by foreign suppliers.
> Deregulation Under Washington state law known as “use-and-file,” commercial property/casualty contracts negotiated between insurers and businesses may go into effect immediately. The policy itself can be filed for state review later.
Hurricane Insurance Claims Paid in Mississippi Approaching $3 Billion Mark
Jackson –Commissioner of Insurance George Dale announced today that insurance companies have paid out nearly $3 billion in hurricane related claims. Over $1.9 billion of that is for Hurricane Katrina claims, $845 million in flood insurance claims, with claims paid for Hurricane Rita nearing $5 million. The approximate total for claims now stands at $2,883,096,865. Those numbers are expected to rise as the Mississippi Insurance Department (MID) continues to work with companies and consumers on hurricane related issues. As of today there have been some 384,277 claims filed on Hurricane Katrina and 3,476 claims filed on Hurricane Rita.
Dale daily reiterates his message to insurance companies,”Pay more claims and pay them faster. We are still taking over 500 to 1,000 calls a week and are devoting the majority of our time in assisting people with hurricane related issues, and we’ll continue to do so as long as it takes, “ he said.
MID has recently issued two bulletins to further assist consumers in hurricane affected areas. Read more at doi.state.ms.us
