Canceling coverage is not to be confused with declining to pay a claim on policy for an electrical fire that has occurred...

I wonder how the insurance company would know if you had the defective brand of breakers, maybe it was a question on the disclosure sheet (or maybe the guy just lied to sell a new breaker panel)?

I have never heard of anyone being prosecuted for building code violations, I wonder how many years the average sentence is, and if those are served in a maximum security prison?
