Allstate will reinstate more than 4,000 Louisiana policyholders with hurricane-damaged homes whose policies were cancelled after flawed inspections indicated their premises were abandoned, the state's insurance commissioner announced last week.
The Northbook, Ill.-based carrier agreed to reinstate the customers retroactively, said Commissioner James J. Donelon. Customers will have until the end of April to contact the company and have their policy reinstated, he added.
Customers must show proof they are living in the home or are in the process of rebuilding, according to Mr. Donelon.
