SDS Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 the issue is not so much 1 claim, as this article states, but the propensity for multiple claims. insurance companies risk models take into consideration that the average homeowner files a claim every 10 to 15 years. and the first occurance of a claim, whether covered or not increases the propensity to file another......... or so the statistics show........ any guy that files a claim for "spoiled food" on his policy is definitely in the group of "those who file claims"... He's lucky they bothered keeping him at all.
Nanker Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Yep...risk models...like for health coverage. Well, that's to be soon over... Maybe this is the next thing to be changed. Government run homeowners insurance for all. Hey, I'm an American, I have a right to homeowners/renters insurance.

He's lucky they bothered keeping him at all. sds, you'd be suprised how many people we had claiming no physical damage to their home but filing for spoiled food after the october storm. i think the local news telling everyone they could file a claim for spoilage cause a mad rush to grab money. what the news did not tell them is the impact the se small claims could possible have...
