Insurance Claim DENIED !

Dave Yang
  • Reno, NV
Posted

my neighbor's irrigation broke and over the course of 5 hours dumped into my backyard and crawlspace under my house.

damages to my crawlspace amount to $2200; my deductible is $2500.

I filed against my neighbor's insurance (Farmers) and their finding is that they are not legally liable for damages - no one was at fault.

I will ask, but don't expect to get damage costs covered by my neighbor.

$2200 doesn't seem like enough to get an attorney involved.

Seems my last (and only) option is Small Claims court - is this even a worthwhile option to take ?

That is laughable. The neighbor is liable.
