Brad Kieserman, deputy associate administrator for insurance at FEMA, disclosed the settlement talks during a break at a hearing in Brooklyn, N.Y., federal court Wednesday over whether an insurer, Wright National Flood Insurance Co., concealed from a homeowner the existence of conflicting reports over damages.
Private insurance companies that work in partnership with FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program have come under scrutiny over allegations that they denied or rejected damage claims based on falsified reports.
