    \”Unlike others, i\’m not afraid of a challenge.\”-Courtney

    There\’s a difference between a challenge and a lost cause. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am sure most people on this board are not afraid as well. That being said…

    It\’s hard to debate with a monkey. If fakeadjusterjoe could follow from A to Z, that would help out a lot. But anyway…

    Jewel, you are being very unfair. This is not a name calling website. Sounds like you are afraid of a challenge!

    Anon, I live in NE FL and I agree; you have to ready to pay the insurance that is commensurate with the risk associated with the place where you live. Currently, they\’re encouraging building in the St. Louis plains. Do they understand that they are subject to flooding if they\’re levees break? Do they want to pay the true cost to live there? Lott lived on the beach butt didn\’t want to pay the true cost to insure it for flooding.
    I disagree about the Feds not being invited in until too late. The Feds and FEMA were watching the situation and could have taken control at any time. Also, do we wait to be invited to other disasters around the world? No. We see they\’re in need and we go to their rescue. We get around the world faster than we got to New Orleans. Let\’s not point to who is to blame or their party affliation because I really don\’t care. As an independent, I believe everyone is equally responsible – residents, Dems., Reps. Do we need to rebuild? What are the alternatives? With the high unemployment, it seemed to be a place where a lot of folks would have been better off leaving. Too much money has been wasted there already in an all or nothing plan. I hate to be trite but we should be thinking outside of the box for a solution on this one and rebuilding in the same location for lots of folks may not be the right answer.

    So true, lets stop pointing fingers and stop paying for studies and start looking for solutions.

    Have you seen the video, Adjuster Joe? Mr. Soto is extremely articulate and a very good industry spokesperson.

    An Understatement, because it\’s easier to beat a casino than get a fair deal with any insurance company.
    Stop reversing the blame & admit the Industry is consumed with Bandits!
    Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

    Fraud is rampant in the insurance industry. Just as we pay for it when someone steals from a storefront, we pay higher premiums because of everyone who fakes an injury or the extent of their injury or sets their house on fire because the markets bad and they can\’t sell if for what they owe the mortgage company. Happens often but not all of the time. The vast majority of people in the industry are honest and the training is always about finding coverage based upon the policy language. It is a contract. One that your state negotiates heavily for you (if they don\’t write it).

    FL Resident-
    adjusterjoe won\’t like that video because it speaks FOR the insurance companies, instead of against them.

    I prefer for the right thing to be done, no matter who has to pay. Of course, joe just says I am an apologist because I won\’t condemn any insurance company without knowing the facts. Same goes for an insured. But, he is narrow minded as many others have pointed out.

    P.S. RAL- I am not afraid of a challenge. Did you read the post where I said there is a difference between a challenge and a lost cause? I didn\’t think so. I do not consider you any type of challenge. :)

    Oh and yes, this is a name calling website. Haven\’t you noticed most people resort to name calling on here? Even your sweetie pie fakeadjusterjoe. I think you\’re being unfair- wah wah!

    There were articles posted this morning about people committing fraud against insurance companies.

    It seems a little ignorant to blame only one side in direct contradiction to evidence.
