Joe.....my understanding of the slab cases is simple. What damage was caused by wind and what damage was caused by water. Water is not covered. So the dispute is over what damage was caused by the wind. The experts have stated their opinion. Just like any personal injury claim that you put before the jury, each side has their own experts. Now it is up to the judge or jury to decide. You have failed to figure into your argument that SF "lost" their initial suit that went to trial. They offered something around $1200 and the jury came back and made them pay an additional $1300 or something around that.......here's the kicker....that was a slab case as well... I guess that one didn't get to much PUB because the insurance company appeared to be right in their handling of the claim...I'm sure you know which one that was.....but every case that has gone to trial something has been offered by State Farm....
