TEXAS LAUNCHES NEW HURRICANE INSURANCE MEDIATION PROGRAM

摘要

A year after Hurricane Ike landed near Galveston Island, Texas, the state's insurance department has launched a pilot mediation program.rnThe program is off to a slow start, and Linda Olden-Smith, the executive director of an ADR provider firm that won the contract to administer the program, isn't happy. She has vowed to take on the promotion tasks that she says the state isn't doing, in order to encourage more property owners to make mediation claims.
