Well, Mr. Foolery, how do you explain why one glass industry publication has had a page specifically quoting the results they obtained while calling for cash quotes around the country?
You say you recieved no quotes because you didn't give your insurance information?
Politely, I say "HORSEFEATHERS".
And to Bill, I couldn't have done a better job of replying to your post than Dan did. Excellent insight Dan.
Bill, steering is illegal in 37 states, and if you short pay a claim, especially without notification to the insured, of how, and why you did so, you have committed bad faith by definition in statute and regulations in my state. And you sure do have a duty to defend, they wouldn't be in litigation if the insurer had indemnified them. Please understand, I fully acknowledge the insurers right and duty to defend against fraud. I'd like to see it someday.
Somehow, I'm betting you already know that the people who enforce those statutes and regulations, don't, however.
Finally, Bill, I'd like to see you answer the rest of my questions, sometime.
Have a nice weekend, all.
