A company spokesperson said Vesta does not have any exposure on policies in Louisiana or Mississippi and only expects to have minimal claims in surrounding states.
Vesta’s Units include Florida Select, Texas Select, California Select and the Shelby and Vesta Insurance Companies. The company specializes in home and auto products.
