In summary, a homeowners' insurance policy is a contract between a homeowner and insurance company that protects a homeowner when their home is damaged and/or destroyed.
Depending upon the type of policy in place the insurance company, upon the presentation of damage, will verify the claim, put a value on the damage
and pay the homeowner the amount necessary to repair and/or replace the damage subject to the policy deductible and any applicable limitation and/or
exclusion.
Insurance companies have a duty of good faith and fair dealing and when they don't deal fairly with the policyholder, the policyholder/homeowner
has a right to sue the insurance company for acting in "bad faith".
Insurance companies have an obligation to respond to a claim within a reasonable time, and they have the obligation to reasonably communicate with the policyholder/homeowner and not to deny a claim without a proper investigation.
