The court may see them favorably in light of this - but... View More

A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If the matter involved misrepresentation or fraud, it's possible, without knowing the details here. But any reputable carrier is likely to use disclaimers and other fine print. Good luck

File a claim with their insurance company. You can claim for the financial loss, and also may have a claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress. I'd suggest you talk to a member of the NC Trial Lawyers Assn/Assn for Justice --- they focus their practice on these types of cases, and... View More
My homeowners insurance refused to pay off my house after my husband passed away because they said it was in a grace period. It didn't get paid for that month but when he passed it was still in a grace period. Called around 7 or 8 times and they kept refusing to honor it.
answered on Jan 22, 2020
This doesn't sound like a homeowners insurance but maybe life insurance. Ultimately it's a contract issue. If the default was not cured there may not be relief. However if he passed during the grace period, generally the policy should be honored.
Consult an experienced civil... View More

That's clearly a sticky issue. Probably best to contact someone in management, advising them of your problems.
Maybe the shop can help works thing out, especially if the adjustor said they were covering the costs.
In the above clause, does ";" mean "and" or "or"? I am trying to get the floodlights under my eaves repaired under warranty.
