Attorney Mike Ryan Calls For Immediate State And Federal Investigation Of
Homeowner Insurance Companies And Legislative Reform To Protect Homeowners
Impacted By Toxic Chinese Drywall

Immediate State and Federal Investigation necessary to protect homeowners
who are the ultimate victims of this drywall catastrophe

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ - Since the discovery that toxic
Chinese drywall has devastated homes in Florida, attorney Mike Ryan, from
Krupnick Campbell Malone, has worked tirelessly to help find relief for
homeowners. Now, some homeowners impacted by defective drywall who made
insurance claims against their homeowners' insurance policies are being told
by their insurance companies that their policies will be dropped or not
renewed.
Ryan, a partner at Krupnick Campbell Malone Buser Slama Hancock Liberman &
McKee, announced "As if this situation is not bad enough for these homeowners
who cannot live in their homes and who are working desperately save their
biggest investment, now some homeowners' insurance companies who have denied
coverage for the drywall catastrophe have the audacity to abandon homeowners
after years of taking their money."
According to Ryan, "Today, we are calling on State and Federal officials to
investigate these insurance companies and their conduct. We are also demanding
immediate legislative reform to bring Florida in line with the majority of
states where there may be coverage for homeowners under these circumstances
and to begin taking back our state from the insurance companies."
Ryan has traveled to Tallahassee and Washington D.C. to meet with elected
officials, demanding response to the needs of homeowners. Ryan represents over
250 homeowners individually throughout the State of Florida. Ryan explained,
"We will go to Tallahassee and Washington, D.C. to find a solution because the
shelf life on patience and hope for these homeowners is running out."
"This is a silent hurricane, with a path of destruction throughout Florida and
the country," said Ryan. "But, it is worse than a hurricane in some sense
because not only are insurance companies denying they will pay for the damage,
now they are threatening to abandon Florida families during Hurricane season.
We need our political leaders and business partners to understand how critical
this situation is and to take action."
The Chinese drywall has been reported to emit sulfur gases when exposed to
moisture. It is believed to be the cause of failing electrical wiring and AC
systems, increasing reports of foul odors, and numerous alleged health issues.
The drywall was imported from China and installed during the building boom of
2004 to 2007.
