TOTALLY Agree, the insurance companies will do anything to avoid paying a claim.
Evidence is back after Hurricane Ivan hit us. A friend and young wife had purchased a townhouse type condo that was their full-time residence. The damage there was great, roof gone rain ruined everything and they couldn’t live in their home until it was repaired.
Insurance company “A” which had the policy for them became involved in lawsuits with Insurance companies “B” and “C” that represented the owners of the places on either side of them.
Sharing a common wall on both sides it became an argument between A-B-C as to whose roof failed first and were the windows intact, etc. On and on and on. It was easy to see there was NO Representation to the families who were all in great need. Focus was completely on how could the insurance companies cover their backs and investors and pay the least amount – if any – to the people who’d paid their bills faithfully thinking they would be covered by the “helpful hands” of the insurance. Long battle and friends finally won – not all but most of a settlement to move elsewhere.
Apologies for getting so windy here, am still angry and emotional over the insurance companies not wanting to help in time of need.
Best wishes to those in the counties to our east, you have a long way to go.
God Bless You ALL.
