The Attorney General for the State of Mississippi filed action against named and unnamed insurers over policies containing exclusions for water damage, whether or not driven by wind, in Hood v. Mississippi Farm Bur. Ins., Civil Action No. G2005-1642R11, (Chancery Court of Hinds County, MS, Sept. 15, 2005).

The complaint, filed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, names the following insurers as defendants: Mississippi Farm Bureau Insurance; State Farm Fire and Casualty; Allstate Property and Casualty; United Services Automobile Association; and Nationwide Mutual. Jim Hood, the Attorney General, also listed “A” Through “Z” Entities as defendants—business entities “whose identities are presently unknown.”
