Louisiana's insurance regulator has ordered Northbrook, Ill.-based insurer Allstate to reinstate homeowners policies for more than 4,000 customers with hurricane-damaged homes because the company failed to sufficiently inspect the properties.

Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon has told the company to scrap its cancellation notices to 4,700 policyholders and reinstate coverage.

As of today, the department said it received 486 complaints from policyholders saying they had not abandoned their homes and were improperly canceled by the company.
