- Your insurance policy ALWAYS places the burden of proof for both 1) determining damages and 2) determining the dollar amount to repair/replace those damages …ON YOU, the policyholder. Why then do we routinely let the insurance company’s adjuster drive both 1) the damage assessment process and 2) determine the dollar amount to fix the damage?
- Isn’t that kind of like allowing the 1) determination of damages and 2) the amount of damages …to be determined by the defendant’s attorney in a civil or criminal lawsuit?
- To further the analogy, you do realize that when you file a claim, the insurance company is the “defendant” and you are the prosecutor?
