A class action lawsuit claiming that Nationwide Insurance underpaid homeowners on their homeowners insurance clailms has been settled reports the Columbus Dispatch, "Nationwide Settles Suit Alleging It Underpaid."  The lawsuit covered homeowners who filed claims between January 1, 1996 to March 2009 and claimed that Nationwide did not pay enough to cover claims because it withheld money that would have covered contractors' overhead and profit.  Under the settlement Nationwide will pay claimants an amount equal to 20% of the amount that it has already paid.
