> Business interruption If you're unable to run your business due to a covered peril (fire, storm damage, vandalism and so on), business interruption insurance will replace lost income, pay ongoing expenses and pay costs involved in getting you set up in a temporary facility.
> Workers' compensation Most employers are required by law to provide workers' compensation insurance through a state system operated by the Department of Labor & Industries. Worker comp pays an employee's medical expenses and provides some income replacement when a worker is injured on the job.
> Stand-Alone Prescription This plan type provides prescription-drug coverage, which generally means the insured person can obtain prescription drugs at a set price of a few dollars, but does not include any other coverage.
Hurricane Insurance Claims Paid in Mississippi Approaching $3 Billion Mark
Jackson –Commissioner of Insurance George Dale announced today that insurance companies have paid out nearly $3 billion in hurricane related claims. Over $1.9 billion of that is for Hurricane Katrina claims, $845 million in flood insurance claims, with claims paid for Hurricane Rita nearing $5 million. The approximate total for claims now stands at $2,883,096,865. Those numbers are expected to rise as the Mississippi Insurance Department (MID) continues to work with companies and consumers on hurricane related issues. As of today there have been some 384,277 claims filed on Hurricane Katrina and 3,476 claims filed on Hurricane Rita.
Dale daily reiterates his message to insurance companies,”Pay more claims and pay them faster. We are still taking over 500 to 1,000 calls a week and are devoting the majority of our time in assisting people with hurricane related issues, and we’ll continue to do so as long as it takes, “ he said.
MID has recently issued two bulletins to further assist consumers in hurricane affected areas. Read more at doi.state.ms.us
