Are cracked slabs only caused by sinkholes or can there be other reasons in this part of Florida for the slab to crack? If an insurance company looks at a crack do they automatically blame it on sinkholes?

I thought it was the nature of concrete slabs to eventually settle and suffer cracks. We had a house in Texas built on a slab that cracked due to a huge oak tree consuming massive amounts of water underground. It wasn't a sinkhole.
