This
Week’s Meeting Schedule:
Underinsurance...
it’s not your fault! MOST FIRE SURVIVORS WILL FIND THEY ARE
UNDERINSURED —THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN! The insurance companies, not you, ALMOST ALWAYS
determined your coverage amounts. They are the experts—THE “NUMBERS
PEOPLE”—not you. Underinsurance, in our opinion, is a result of clever
insurance company marketing strategy to protect the insurance industry and
not you. Insurance companies employ sophisticated and
robust computer programs, such as Marshall & Swift, to determine your
coverage amount. Certain uses of these programs, intentional or
unintentional, can create significant inadequate coverage amounts. Since
the 2003 firestorm, we have demonstrated that the Marshall & Swift
program has the capacity of determining almost exactly, to within a few
thousand dollars, the dollar number it would cost to rebuild your totally
destroyed home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ New

with homeowners in areas struck by catastrophic wildfire most strongly
recognizing that they must keep their homes adequately insured, according
to a new statewide poll. http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/west/2008/10/23/94902.htm
