House Bill No. by Representative Firmant enacts a new provision in Louisiana law regarding unfair and deceptive practices in the insurance industry. Specifically, it adds a new clause, R.S. 22:1964(14)(q), which mandates that insurance adjusters must provide the original field adjuster's repair estimate to an insured upon written request. Additionally, if the estimate has been revised, the adjuster is required to disclose the identity of the person who made those revisions.
This legislation aims to enhance transparency in the claims settlement process by ensuring that insured individuals have access to important documentation related to their claims. By doing so, it seeks to protect consumers from unfair practices and promote accountability among insurance adjusters.
