Harrison, AR asked in Insurance Bad Faith for Arkansas

Q: I have a claim on my house that was denied by State Auto. A Broker in Harrison Ar originated the Policy.

They are denying damage from a leak under my home where mold and damage to my floor joists occurred. I had the repair on the plumbing leak fixed in March 2023, yet I'm being told they won't repair the wood damage because "it isn't on my policy, which it is. After I showed them which page.

They said it wasnt "sudden" enough.

The claims adjuster is very rude to me and although I have had 2 houses, a few cars and an RV with them , I am treated very badly.

A: An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. One option in such a situation could be to place the claim into suit, depending on additional details. You could reach out to attorneys to try to set up a free initial consult to discuss in further detail. Good luck
