This is a quick follow up on one of my recent posts about the problem of fraud in the insurance industry. As I previously said, home insurance fraud is a major problem in the industry and accounts for the vast majority of fraudulent claims. As a result of that, some insurers are starting to change their approaches to claims and are also starting to make it a little bit more difficult to claim. As annoying as this may be to those homeowners and renters that are honest, it should ultimately keep premiums lower than they would otherwise be.
Home insurance claims departments are now making the claiming process more rigorous with independent assessors being called in to offer damage assessments in order to verify claims.
