    Bottom line is this: It was/is assine for an insurance company to stand on the \”water took it all idea\”…. in many cases there were sustained Cat 2+ winds for as much as 6-8 hours before water unindated some of these homes. The foolish thing to say was when SF stated that it was possible that NO damage occured not even a shingle. These people got a policy limit verdict because SF and many of the other carriers just wrote it all off to water if your home was at or below the surge line. All most wanted was a resonable settle that wind was at least partially responsible for the destruction of the home. In my particular case I was able to prove and the insurance company agreed,(after a 8 month fight ) that there was substantial damage to the home from tornadic/micro burst activity. I received a tad over 50% of the policy limits enforce. Nothing is cut a dried, and I would also agree that the punitive is over the top. Hell my rates had already tripled in the previous 7 years.

    Does anyone know what it takes to be hired as an Adjuster,
    to go out of state to a disaster area and evaluate damages?

    Either the Adjusters
    \”Did not know what they were doing\”
    or they
    Knew exactly what to do & how to do it.

    They all agreed, Water Damage or Surge.
    Hummmm
    Did they have the same boss/coach/teacher?

    Keep his numbers current and do not use his name until he is in a courtroom.
    You don\’t want to risk loosing him.
    The truth is on the way.
    I caught my ADJUSTER lying.
    My Agent was programmed in what to say
    and how to say it.
    A little more time and help is on the way,\’
    Lets hope that we get a policy that will cover our next home before another Katrina hits.

    I am proud to see American Men Fighting for our rights. It brings back the Spirit of America. We have more wars inside America then we do outside from the Top to the bottom. From the White House to the bedrooms of America,
    Everyone\’s looking for something.
    and when they find it they no longer want it. Time to take care of each other.

    If the USA can spend $2 Billion a week in IRAQ, we better be able to provide the American Homeowners to buy a policy that will guarantee financial protection for any natural disaster.
    No If, Ands, Buts, Excuses or Exclusions.

    This is America.
    This is Our Land.
    Provide Fair Policy
    or hit the sand!

    My son stayed untill daylight on 2nd st. in Pass Christian. He is lucky to be alive but he knows what type of damage was done by the wind. My adjuster told me not to worry. I had alot of wind damage and State Farm was going to take good care of me. He called me back that same night to appologize. He said when he got back to the office with his report, it was taken away from him and he had been taken off my case. In addition they demanded his personal notes and photos. He refused to give them up. He said he didn\’t like what State Farm was doing to me and told me to keep his card. He also told me that if I needed him for anything to call him. I want my story heard.
