    \’In cases where the cause of damage could not be determined, Columbus, Ohio-based Nationwide initially refused to make any payments, Dale said, adding that the company will now review those cases to \”make sure that damage potentially caused by wind would be paid.\’\’

    NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!! Only State Farm screwed people like this, right adjusterjoe and Melanie? Once again my
    paradigm is altered!!! Drat the bad luck.

    I have always included Nationwide in my discussions. The diference is that unlike Ed Rust, the CEO of Nationwide did not send out a memo for the locals to defend Nationwide to the death. The only apologists are here in support of State Farm.

    first jury trial on the hurricane damage a little more than a week ago, Judge Senter said State Farm failed to prove its case and the jury ordered the company to pay $2.5 million in punitive damage to a couple in Biloxi. The judge also awarded the couple the full value of their insurance policy, $223,000. State Farm had maintained it owed them nothing.

    Edward B. Rust, Jr.:
    Poverty of the Soul
    Do you remember when your heart reflected the very best? Confidence led upright. You believed in honor, and then your life changed forever.

    Greed became the poverty of your soul, robbing yourself of happiness. Lying, pretending to be kind, your success. Trickery, injustice, your reward, robbing yourself.

    Lying, pretending to by kind, trickery and injustice are the way John Pegg and Marc McCaslin have decided to treat my family and I. Mr. Rust, this is not about money, it is about how these two men do business. I put my trust in them and they decided to coil and bite me. I was told that if it was not in writing that it never happened, and I was told that if I didn’t like it to get an attorney. This really concerns me, not only on our claim, but on behalf of all policy owners of State Farm. I have been absolutely outraged at the handling of all of this. I ask that you please call me or make an appointment for me so that I can talk to you in person. These men reflect the State Farm Company, and you as President, and attitudes like theirs not only increases the cost of insurance to the public, but destroys trust and confidence from policyholders.

    I find it odd that multiple companies that use substantially the same wording would come to the same conclusion with respect to claims from the same event.

    Somebody should file a class action law-suit because there\’s clearly been some collusion here.

    It\’s not possible that the companies interpreted the policy correctly- it must have been a conspiracy to steal money.

    But you fail to mention the MULTIPLE companies that paid claims with substantially the same language, WITHOUT BEING FORCED.

    It\’s good to see you\’re still here Joe. My day is always brighter when you are around.

    Today\’s question is:

    What are some names of the MULTIPLE companies that paid without being forced?

    It\’s always a little frustrating for me to read these articles because not only do I not have the appropriate claims / personal lines / property experience to form an opinion, but also because it always seems there are conflicting opinions about not only what actually caused the loss, but also what the policy \’should\’ pay if everyone agreed to what actually happened.

    I guess I have a few questions. It seems that if the only thing left of a house is the slab, there must have been some wind. Is that correct? And, if there was wind and water damage, is the wind carrier allowed to deny the entire claim? Does the same apply to the flood carrier? Finally, didn\’t most of the \”flood\” carriers go ahead and pay for the damage? And if so, how did they determine how much to pay?

    Sorry for all the questions.

    Thanks.
