 BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. (AP) - A couple who got conflicting reports from an engineering firm about how one of their homes was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing State Farm Insurance Co. of manipulating those reports to deny their claim.
The lawsuit, which comes as Mississippi's attorney general investigates insurance companies for "fraudulent" handling of post-Katrina claims, is one of many spawned by a fierce debate over whether homes were destroyed by the Aug. 29 hurricane's wind or water.
In the latest case, Terri and William Mullins have two conflicting reports prepared by the same engineering firm.
