Loyola Law Clinic Hosts Public Seminars for Upcoming Insurance Deadline

(New Orleans)-- The deadline for filing suit against insurance companies on most hurricane Katrina related claims is August 29, 2006. The deadline marks the last day for effective negotiation for all unsettled claims, after which all bargaining power is lost. The Loyola Law Clinic and the Pro Bono Project, with the help of the Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, will host seminars to discuss the upcoming deadline on Saturday, July 15, 2006, from 10 – noon, at St. Jude Shrine at 411 South Rampart Street, and on Saturday, July 22, 2006, from 10 – noon, at Loyola Law School Room 308. The events are free and open to the public.

In addition to the topic of the deadline, the seminars will also review issues in regard to FEMA, bankruptcy, contractor fraud, landlord tenant issues, successions, Louisiana Recovery Authority and State Tax Credits; and family law and domestic violence.
