Resolved Question: Home owners insurance question:?
My tub on 2nd floor overflowed and did damage to kitchen ceiling, a little to walls, and some in bathroom. I woke up to the smell of smoderomg wires. I call 911 and go outside with baby. Fire department pulls two fuses (of 8) I call my insurance company, and the doorknob head adjuster comes. First he’s not going to pay for a motel, but I tell him that the fans his “cleaning and restoration” company set up are blocking the doorway, where they have to be, so I don’t have a legal exit, it’s obstructed. Also, I don’t need plaster falling on the baby’s head–I can’t be moving the stove and fridge every time I need a plate out of the cabinet. Restoration company had 3 huge fans and a dehumidifier almost as big as my stove in my small kitchen. Then he tells me that the restoration company is going to do the repairs–I said: “NO WAY!” and didn’t sign an;ything that even allowed to get an estimate. So a few weeks went by –I got one bid that expired after 10 days. I was waiting for doorknob head adjuster to let me know how much he had paid restoration company to dry out my kitchen–and I had some other pressing matters having to do with work comp–had deadlines to meet. I know I have 6 months at least on the house claim. Friday, I get a letter in the mail from doorknob head, and a check for $804. He says the resotration company can sheetrock 1/3 of the ceiling for that. He paid them $3000 to set up a few fans and knock down about a 4×4 area of wet plaster ceiling , about 1/4 of my ceiling. Now I’m FLIPPIN! For the $3000 plus the $804–I could have done it myself, and had a whole new kitchen! I’m just not sure if I have replacement insurance–I should. I called the agent I deal with and told her I wouldn’t accept that, and she said I had too–that I never called doorknob head back so he got the estimates, even though I told him the cleaning/restoration company wouldn’t be doing any work after the “drying out.” I told her : “Know way–this house is going to get fixed right and it’s going to be safe–you’re getting me a whole new piece of sheet rock, and there is bathroom damage and there are electrical safety concerns that have NOT been addressed. She told me I could cash the check and do whatever I wanted. I know that to cash the check would mean that I accept the $804 as a settlement. Who do I talk to next–should I demand another adjuster? I know I have to get another estimate, and that shouldn’t be a problem. Should I contact the State Commisoner of Insurance! Looks like the only ones into insurance fraud are the insurance companies. This SKS Every day plaster is falling from the slats in the exposed area, my kitchen light is down, and my upstairs toilet is laying on it’s side. My homeowners’ deductible is $250, so that’s not a big deal, but how can I tell if I have replacement? I read that policy over and over, and most of it is still like a can of worms. A friend who used to sell insurance said I have the right policy, but he couldn’t tell, either. Their forms change every few years. Do I have six months to accept? If I call the commissioner, will they burn my house down, or just raise my rates or cancel me? I’ve been in my old house 27 years, and other than a couple of trees go down, I’ve only had one small claim in the mid 80′s. Then this Friday, somebody also smashed out my windshield–same insurance company–it’s fixed already, but I have to fix a headlight, too. Can anybody please be my free lawyer but on a contingency basis, who is a bulldog in court? I have the house claim, the car claim, the work comp claim, a medical malpractice claim, and a labor law claim for wrongful termination. I’m on unemployment. Worked for my company for 7 years, and was never going to buy a car while I worked for them, but I January, my old car threw a rod, and I had to have a car. Hard to pay car and house payments on UCI, grandson lives with me–I think I’m screwed! Can’t even get a jewler to give me half way decent price for my wedding ring! I just hope I can hawk my house for the malpractice and labor law claims, or I’m screwed again. I won’t be able to hang onto my house if I can’t convince a jury, and I can be convincing. I have good documentation from at least 6 of the 7 years I worked for my company. Will attorneys ever accept houses as collateral, and work contingently until we win? I’m a 57 year old single mom, and now have my daughter and grandson, age 2 living with me. She helps, but doesn’t make a whole lot of money. Baby boy is pretty neat–we just pulled him out of a daycare that lots of people like, but I didn’t. The licensee got busted for having 18 kids and one caregiver, and some other stuff. I was suspicious of some stuff there, so my daughter and I found a daycare where the lady is only going to take 5 little ones, and she homeschooled(s) all of her kids. He’s just too little to be left in a situation like he was. I’m SOOO busy with all of this st

Resolved Question: If you don’t have renters insurance, does any of the homeowners insurance cover anything?
I am currently deployed to afghanistan, so my apologies in advance if I’m a bit vague. My wife best friend is renting a house. Yesterday, a fire broke out because of the refrigerator. The fire department isn’t doing an investigation on it. They found the cause right away. Now, my question is this. She didn’t have renters insurance and everything is a total loss. If not by the fire, by the water and smoke damage. She lives in Fayetteville, NC. Would the homeowner be responsible for covering any of the replacement of the items since it was caused by his appliances? I’m grasping at straws on this one. I told her that it would probably have to be handled by the court on this one. But, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Resolved Question: homeowners insurance?
My builder of new home quoted me insurance of $420/annually. My agent’s friend quoted $560 (if I change my auto also) but also told me the builder was not including replacement coverage. The written quote from the builder did mention replacement coverage in an HOB. I do not know who to go with. How do I decide?
