08 Feb: Doria-Gill Bill Urges Insurers To Settle World Trade Center Claims

TRENTON – A resolution sponsored by Senators Joseph V. Doria and Nia H. Gill which would urge the insurance industry to quickly and fairly settle any outstanding insurance claims stemming from the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 was approved today by the Senate Commerce Committee by a vote of 4-0.

“While I understand that the September 11 terrorist attacks were a traumatic, unforeseen, world-changing event, Americans are trying to pick up the pieces and adapt to our new world,” said Senator Doria, D-Hudson. “In Bayonne, where I serve as Mayor, we never could have imagined a New York skyline without the Twin Towers. More than five years later, the tragedy isn’t lessened one bit, but the people of the region are resilient, and we need to return to whatever sense of normalcy can be achieved.”

TRENTON – A resolution sponsored by Senators Joseph V. Doria and Nia H. Gill which would urge the insurance industry to quickly and fairly settle any outstanding insurance claims stemming from the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 was approved today by the Senate by a vote of 36-0.

“September 11, 2001 changed the world as we know it, and we’re still feeling the impact more than five years after the despicable attacks occurred,” said Senator Doria, D-Hudson. “As a resident and mayor of a city overlooking the New York skyline, we’re reminded every day of what was taken from us on that fateful date – not just in terms of a recognizable landmark, but also the thousands of lives lost to terrorism. While I don’t think America will ever fully heal from the September 11 terrorist attacks, we’re beginning to pick up the pieces, and move on in this new world.”
