    After suffering through State Farm\’s brand of paying off claims after a natural disaster I believe every single word these women are saying. We in Cheyenne, Wyoming were hit by an extremely damaging and freaky flood on August 1, 1985. My husband and I were paid about $1200.00 for some window damage done by hail but we ultimately wound up losing our home and having to claim bankruptcy due to the damage done to our house that State Farm claimed they did not cover. These insurance companies want higher and higher fees to \”cover\” (and I use that term loosely) and they want their payments \”right now\” too. However, when it comes to ponying up to the bar and paying their part when something happens, they squirrel out of it like the huge, money-hungry, power-driven mega-monsters that they are. The insurance situation in this country is a disgrace and desperately needs to be over-hauled as well as investigated thoroughly!

    I tend to agree. With all of the publicity about carriers re-evaluating claims and making additional offers, Lott would be foolish to risk a trial. Current case law dictates that additional claims be settled or risk punitive damage awards. However, if the carrier can prove at trial they re-evaluated and made a valid offer after re-evaluation, there would be a lot more risk to Lott. Certainly there would be less potential for punitive damages. Unless there is the chance of big headlines and even bigger recovery, it does not appear to be worth Lott\’s time.

    Is \”freaky flood\” a covered peril in your State Farm policy? If not–Should Have Bought Flood!

    There it is – sadly hit by a freaky flood, and sadly freaky flood doesnt show up in the policy. And somehow that is the insurance company\’s fault? They didnt collect any premium for it, didnt rate for it, and didnt expect it any more than LL. But its SF responsibility. Time for adjusterjoe.

    Flood is not covered by your HO policy. Becasue they didn\’t pay you for something that was not covered doesn\’t make them the devil. You might want to ask around and see if any of your neighbors were paid for flood claims under their HO policy. You will not find one.

    You lost your home and went into BK because you are irresponsible and a total moron. Place the responsibility for your own inactions at your feet and quit blaming others. Your \”victimhood\” makes me vomit in my mouth.
