Insurance Company Reverses its Denial of its Insureds’ Claim

If an agent (or anyone who sells you insurance) says one thing, and you buy the insurance with that assurance of coverage, the insurance company cannot later trick the insured with some fine-print, hard-to-understand exclusion and deny a claim for loss.

The potential plaintiff in this case (“owner”), was storing his property in a rental storage unit.  The owner’s property was destroyed when the storage facility removed the flooding controls to the unit, it rained, and the rain destroyed the property with water damage. Insurance company denied owner’s claim for reimbursement due to an exclusion in the policy for “surface waters” damage.  However, the agent who sold the policy told owner that water damage was a covered event.

After attorney Brian Pedigo went back-and-forth with the company in several phone calls and letters, the insurance company agreed to settle for the policy limits of $5,000.

Client Testimonial

Brian Pedigo assisted us in a hit and run accident case involving our dog. It was a challenging case as the insurance company representing the individual who hit our dog was making the process very difficult and their client was not truthful to either them or the police. Brian was very diligent in his work to keep pushing for an acceptable outcome, had done his research and was prepared to take this case to court if we decided to do so. He was very patient w/ the numerous questions and ‘what ifs’ that we proposed. Brian was both knowledgeable and realistic w/ the possible outcomes because of the uniqueness and particular circumstances involving the hit and run of a pet. Thank goodness Socrates survived(albeit a little hitch in his giddy up and a sometimes sideways tail!). Brian helped us at an emotionally difficult time and I can confidently say we would not have had a positive outcome had he not taken our case. Thank you, Brian! — D.T.
