Charity accuses insurance industry of bullying tactics

A CRUSADING figure in the St Vincent de Paul has accused the insurance industry of failing and – in some cases – bullying victims of last November’s flood in Cork.

The society’s regional president Brendan Dempsey saidcertain cases are being investigated where it appearedpeople were pressured into accepting settlements which fell far short of what was required to repair flood damage.

He cited one case where an individual was left €90,000 short by their insurance company.
