S.Con.Res.91

Urges Congress to investigate claims that insurance companies used revised engineering reports to deny flood claims from Superstorm Sandy.

The resolution urges Congress to investigate claims that insurance companies have used revised engineering reports to deny legitimate flood claims from homeowners in New Jersey and similarly situated states following Superstorm Sandy. The resolution cites a case where a U.S. Magistrate Judge found that an engineer rewrote a report to deny a claim, suggesting a potentially widespread practice detrimental to homeowners. The resolution highlights the need for immediate investigations and hearings to determine the extent of this practice.
