Hurricane Insurance
Aug29Adabie II Mass Joinder Filed in Federal Court
Joseph Bruno files a mass joinder on belhalf of individuals and business owners against their respective insurance carriers for failure to fully and fairly compensate the plaintiffs for the damages arising out of Hurricane Katrina.
Summary
We continue to represent many clients who are still battling outstanding Katrina insurance claims, and maintain a fully staffed division to continue serving these clients. As a result of this hard work, our clients are being paid far more than they were originally offered by their insurance company. We are also actively pursuing recovery for clients whose homes were damaged during hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike. As we saw after Katrina, sophisticated insurance companies seek to deny or "low-ball" these claims. We utilize state of the art computer software that regularly assesses the regional pricing for labor and materials allowing us to obtain the maximum insurance recovery for our clients.
If you feel you were not fully compensated by your homeowners insurance company and have did not reach a settlement with them, click Case Submission above to submit your information or contact us directly at (504) 561-6776 or (800) 966-1335. -

Read recent press on the Joe Bruno's part in the MRGO cases here.
Summary
In what has been described as the greatest engineering disaster ever, the levees and flood walls designed to protect the city of New Orleans and surrounding regions failed catastrophically during hurricane Katrina. Beginning in April 2009, our firm, along with several others, tried the Robinson case as the first case to go to trial against the Corps of Engineers. This "test" case, designed to resolve common legal and factual issues, was concluded in May, 2009. A decision from the Court is expected shortly. As a public service we have posted many of the documents generated in the Robinson trial on line -- including Depositions, Expert Reports, Trial Transcripts, and soon trial Exhibits -- at www.KatrinaDocs.com
