Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita changed the face of America forever. Thousands of people lost everything they own, including their jobs, while others lost their lives. Hundreds of thousands of residents will never return to New Orleans and the surrounding areas. While mother nature caused the Hurricane, there are other parties responsible who caused untold financial, property and emotional damage. For example, multiple levee breeches may have been caused by defective design by the Army Corps of Engineers or construction defects. Nursing homes, such as St. Rita's, may have negligently failed to evacuate patients and residents leading to wrongful death. Orleans Parish, the Parish in which New Orleans sits, may not have adequately evacuated its residents. The parish outside New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, may have had a negligent Hurricane Disaster plan that failed to prevent some its neighborhoods from being flooded. Murphy Oil, a large oil company in Louisiana, may have negligently failed to protect property and residents in St. Bernard Parish from a toxic oil spill that has destroyed parts of the community.

Compounding the disaster is the fact that insurance companies want to minimize payment for Hurricane Katrina and Rita losses. Homeowners and business owners with flood, property (homeowner's), business interruption and other types of insurance have to fight for every penny they are due. Homeowners and business owners have paid billions of dollars in premiums for years, only to be faced with fights to recover what they are due.
