There have been many horror stories about the assignment of benefits.

Don't assume insurance coverage of storm-related damage to roofs involves an 'assignment of benefits.' There have been numerous settlements without the AIB here in The Villages -- bonafide, legit and not scams. Broadside statements without facts are not very becoming to credibility.
