The Mississippi State Farm Catastrophe Induction CAT Manual. (4 MB download) Chip Merlin mentioned this document once on his blog citing it as one of the documents a good wind water attorney litigating with the Good Neighbor must have in his repertoire. My reader says it has not yet seen the light of day in litigation here, perhaps because State Farm settled out with Merlin’s clients some time back. It has turned up elsewhere though.
So I’ll post it first for use as a slabbed reference material and see what kind of discussion it generates.

Did you check out the “commitments” Sop?
“Explain all relevant coverages under the policy. Encourage policyholders to report all losses and avail themselves of all benefits under their coverages.”
Duh!
I did Nowdy and there is another post or two from that manual.
