You must remember, though, that the insurance industry pays out in excess of $100 million to lobbyists at the state and federal levels. These lobbyists work very hard to ensure that you, John Q. Citizen, pay the ultimate cost of any "crisis" endured by the insurance industry.

From what I understand happens is the insurance companies will deny the claim and then the attorneys for the roofing company will sue the insurance company. Then the insurance company will settle as it is cheaper than going through the court system.
