TASK FORCE SUGGESTS REFERRAL SERVICE

An insurance referral service to help connect consumers with insurers has been suggested by the Alabama Hurricane Insurance Issues Task Force to assist homeowners having trouble finding insurance along the state’s Gulf Coast, especially in Mobile and Baldwin counties.

Insurance Commissioner Walter Bell, chairman, acknowledged that it can be a lot of work for consumers to shop around. “It’s a task at this point that nobody wants to go through,” Bell told the Mobile Register, “but it’s a task that these folks will have to get involved with to find additional coverage.”

The full panel meets again June 1 in Mobile.
