A federal judge in New Orleans has dismissed a lawsuit filed after plaintiff's lawyers in Louisiana complained in 2007 that insurers facing lawsuits filed in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were behaving like a "cartel," working together to underpay legitimate claims.
The suit was filed by the former Louisiana attorney general, Charles Foti, against property insurance companies and their vendors for lack of evidence.
The case was dismissed Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Jay Zainey in response to a motion by insurers to dismiss the case.
