Wow insurance, I also work in insurance and have brain worms about "how do they insure this"

Right?? It truly is just, like, once the door to how insurance works is opened, there's a nonzero chance that anything you see or experience or hear about triggers "how would you insure this" or"would that specific claim be covered".

Not my best party trick and I wish I could stop doing it lmao

#personal #'would this claim be covered' when it comes to water damage is basically always No Unless and this news upsets a lot of people #oh but that whole 'Geico had to cover getting an std in a car under auto insurance' DID make for good party content #bc how that went down is one of the things my job hinges on and that I'm very good at

Essential Water Damage Insurance Claim Tips: Navigating the Process with FL Care Claims

Water damage can wreak havoc on your property, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about where to turn next. In such challenging times, having the right guidance and support can make all the difference. That's where water damage insurance claims come into play, providing financial protection and assistance in restoring your property to its former glory.

At FL Care Claims (https://flcareclaims.com/), we understand the complexities involved in filing water damage insurance claims. With years of experience in handling such cases, we have compiled a comprehensive list of tips to help you navigate the process smoothly and maximize your chances of a successful claim.

Act Quickly: Time is of the essence when it comes to water damage. As soon as you discover the damage, it's crucial to take immediate action. Contact your insurance provider and inform them of the situation promptly. Delays in reporting can complicate the claims process and may even result in denial of coverage.

Document the Damage: Before attempting any cleanup or repairs, thoroughly document the extent of the damage. Take photographs or videos from multiple angles to provide clear evidence for your insurance claim. These visual records will serve as vital proof of the damage incurred.

Mitigate Further Damage: While waiting for the insurance adjuster to assess the situation, take steps to prevent further damage to your property. This could include extracting standing water, drying out affected areas, and securing the premises against additional risks. However, make sure to consult with your insurer and follow their guidelines to avoid any disputes over coverage.

Understand Your Policy: Familiarize yourself with the terms and coverage details of your insurance policy. Not all policies are created equal, and understanding what is and isn't covered can prevent misunderstandings down the line. Pay particular attention to any exclusions or limitations related to water damage.

Keep Records: Throughout the claims process, maintain detailed records of all communication with your insurance company. Note down dates, times, and the content of conversations or emails exchanged. These records can serve as valuable evidence and help keep track of the progress of your claim.

Get Multiple Estimates: When seeking repairs or restoration services, obtain multiple estimates from reputable contractors. Compare the estimates and choose a contractor who offers quality work at a fair price. Keep in mind that your insurance company may have preferred vendors or guidelines for selecting contractors.

Review the Settlement Offer Carefully: If your insurer presents a settlement offer, review it carefully before accepting. Ensure that the offer adequately covers all necessary repairs and expenses related to the water damage. If you have any doubts or concerns, don't hesitate to seek clarification from your insurance adjuster or legal counsel.

Consider Professional Assistance: Dealing with insurance claims can be complex and overwhelming, especially in the aftermath of a disaster. Consider seeking professional assistance from a public adjuster or an attorney specializing in insurance claims. They can advocate on your behalf and help navigate any challenges that arise during the process.

Navigating a water damage insurance claim tips can be a daunting task, but with the right guidance and preparation, you can increase your chances of a favorable outcome.

After Paying the Insured More than $637,000 he Sues for More

Vahagun Safarian appealed from the judgment entered after the trial court granted the summary judgment motion filed by Fire Insurance Exchange (Fire). Safarian sued Fire for breach of contract and related claims after Fire denied in part Safarian's claim for coverage under his homeowner's insurance policy for damage to the foundation of his home resulting from a burst pipe that flooded the soil around the home.

In Vahagun Safarian v. Fire Insurance Exchange, B323862, California Court of Appeals, Second District, Seventh Division (November 14, 2023) Safarian asked the Court of Appeals to provide coverage for damages over the almost $700,000 received for damages due to a water line break and water damages.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Fire issued Safarian homeowner's insurance policy effective from June 13, 2017 through June 13, 2018 (Policy). The insured property was Safarian's three-level hillside home on Sunset Drive in Los Angeles (Property).

Paragraph 12, states, "We do not insure loss or damage consisting of, composed of or which is the movement, settling, cracking, bulging, shrinking, heaving, or expanding of any part of covered property, whether natural or otherwise .... [¶] [This] includes by way of example but not limited to foundations, foundation fill material, foundation piers, foundation beams, slabs, pads, patios, walls, floors."

The policy also provided that "This water exclusion applies even if water combines or contributes in any way with any other excluded cause of loss or damage hereunder to cause loss or damage..." And the policy at paragraph (f) specifically excludes foundation damage.

PROPERTY DAMAGE, CLAIM, AND LAWSUIT

Water flooded the exterior of the Property as well. Safarian submitted a claim to Fire for water damage to the Property. Fire ultimately paid Safarian $637,999 in policy benefits, including $313,371 for damage to the Property, with the remainder for damage to personal property and loss of use.

Safarian hired William Musakhanyan, a licensed public adjuster, to handle his claim. Musakhanyan notified Hodson that the Property may have sustained foundation damage as a result of the plumbing breach. On March 12, 2018 a structural engineer retained by Safarian reported, "The water leak also appears to have caused fill soils in the crawl [space] . . . to settle," which in turn caused interior floor tiles to separate and an exterior foundation wall to develop cracks. Musakhanyan transmitted the engineer's report to Hodson, who on April 10 responded by email, "Per our conversation-as you know, Earth movement is not covered."

Fire denied Safarian's claim for foundation damage. Safarian sued .

FIRE'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Fire argued it paid all covered damages and therefore did not breach the Policy. The trial court found the language of the Policy was undisputed and the trial court found that Safarian failed to meet his burden to prove Fire intentionally relinquished its right to invoke the paragraph (f) foundation damage exclusion, and he could not meet this burden based only on Fire's denial of coverage in light of Fire's reservation of rights in the denial letter. Finally, the court found that because there was no breach of contract, Fire was entitled to summary judgment as to the entire action.

DISCUSSION

In general, interpretation of an insurance policy is a question of law that is decided under settled rules of contract interpretation. The insured has the burden of establishing that a claim, unless specifically excluded, is within basic coverage, while the insurer has the burden of establishing that a specific exclusion applies.

On appeal, Safarian contended the water coverage extension provided coverage for any damage to the Property resulting from a plumbing breach, regardless of whether the damage was an uninsured loss under the Policy's general terms. The Court of Appeal agreed with the trial court that foundation damage is not a covered loss under the Policy, regardless of the cause, and Fire was entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

The dispositive issue here was not, as argued by Safarian, the convergence of a covered peril (flooding from the burst pipe) and an excluded peril (earth movement, water, soil conditions, and settling) because the purported covered peril is not covered at all. The water damage extension for a burst pipe itself has an exclusion in paragraph (f) for foundation damage. Thus, neither peril provides coverage.

Safarian contended that Fire waived its right to enforce the paragraph (f) foundation damage exclusion by failing to assert it during the adjustment of his claim. Waiver is not established merely by evidence that the insurer failed to specify the exclusion in a letter reserving rights. Safarian did not present evidence that Fire intentionally relinquished its right to assert the paragraph (f) foundation damage exclusion. Fire was free to develop one defense without impliedly waiving another.

ZALMA OPINION

No insurance policy covers every possible risk of loss. Fire found coverage for the damage done by the burst pipe and paid the insured what he agreed to concerning damage to the structure and his contents for more than $670,000. He then sought payment for damages due to settlement of the structure and its foundation that was clearly and unambiguously excluded by trying to create coverage without a basis in the policy or in the facts of the claims handling.

Repairing water damage can be expensive. Though small quantities may appear harmless at first, once it seeps into your carpets, walls, and basement, it could cost a considerable amount to restore them. As such, homeowners insurance policies must cover water damage claims.
