One of the common tactics that insurance companies use to avoid paying property damage claims is to twist and turn the claimant’s words against them. For example, if the claimant states that their home flooded due to a burst pipe, a few more questions and answers would allow the insurance company’s claims adjuster to verify that the claimant referred to water damage, not actual flooding. But instead, they will often deny the claim because most standard insurance policies do not cover flooding.
