U.S. Attorney in La. Won’t Intervene in Suit Against Insurers

U.S. Attorney David Dugas says he won’t intervene in a whistleblowers’ lawsuit that accuses several insurance companies of overbilling the federal government for flood damage to Louisiana homes from Hurricane Katrina. An attorney for a group of former insurance adjusters filed the suit last year in federal court, but it was legally required to remain under seal while federal officials reviewed the case.
