Makes Sense to Me

Via the Insurance Coverage Law Blog, I see this A.P. article, which notes a Louisiana House Bill that would allow consumers an extra year to file lawsuits against their insurance companies has passed through committee. It will go next to the Louisiana House for vote:

[Rep. Tim Burns, R-Mandeville] said that insurance companies "are so overwhelmed now, they will not be able to process all the claims by Aug. 29, 2006," a year after the date Katrina battered the state. "It is in everybody's interest to extend it to two years," he said.
