I know of one instance where the customer was told that the weather incident to report was hail on a certain day and time. I didn't have any hail at my house and I live 60 feet away. Must have been selective hail. Someone is pocketing a lot of money.
We need new blood in the Florida Insurance Commission in Tallahassee.
The insurance policy is probably a replacement policy and not the cash value of the item lost. Replacement policies are the way to go as construction
costs go up each year.
