Dealing with the Insurance Adjuster - "You Don't Need a Lawyer"

[lhpgators]

Ahhh who cares right? If the homeowner is coached to tell their carrier "I'm worried about sinkholes" even if there is no basis for their worry, the carrier is required to shell out $10K for testing. …continued

Then the geotech reports come back and say "well its probably normal settlement and/or high levels of clay in the soil and/or normal expansion and contraction and/or improper compaction of the first 2" to 4" inches of earth under the slab........but, we cannot rule out sinkhole (because if a sinkhole does in fact open up 200 years from now, we don't want to be liable). …continued

What the attorneys don't tell the home owner is if you get a geotech to not rule out sinkhole, then your property tax record states you have a sinkhole. Ever want to sell your house? good luck. Even if the geotech report is truthful and says "no sinkhole" then you, the homeowner, will need to rectify the foundation issue at your own expense, otherwise good luck getting any carrier to insured your property. Either way, the homeowner loses and the attorney gets paid.
