The Claim Game: A Homeowner’s Guide to Avoiding an Insurance Catastrophe
In these troubled economic times a home is a precious commodity. Protecting that investment has never been more important for homeowners and property owners. When Mother Nature or good old fashion bad luck cause damage to a property, homeowners turn to their insurers to help them restore their property.
Insurers, meanwhile, are as equally interested in enhancing their bottom lines as homeowners are in protecting their investment. When these interests collide, the claim game begins and the fight to protect your home and get what is owed you becomes a high stakes game of chance. Without the right guidance, without knowing the Rules of the Game, rules written by and for the insurers, you could find yourself on the losing end. The Claim Game: A Homeowner’s Guide to Avoiding an Insurance Catastrophe levels the playing field between homeowners and insurers by giving homeowners the knowledge and tools needed to empower themselves so that they can get every penny owed them and claim victory.

I was looking for a book on homeowner’s insurance and since this one seemed to be the most current and complete, so I got it and I’m really glad I did. Having the table of contents online really helped to decide. We had a sewer back up claim and this book saved so much time and aggravation and actually money to that if I didn’t get this book I would’ve pulled most of my hair out by now, really. Most of the people on our block had water in their basement and I became the go-to expert after reading this book. I got asked so many questions by so many people I started lending the book out! We’re really really happy we got this book. And its funny, to, I’m in bed reading and I laugh out loud and a few pages later I laugh again and my wife looks over and says “What are you reading thats so funny?” Its a book on homeowner’s insurance! I never would’ve thought a book about homeonwer’s insurance could be so funny, but this one is. Really, if you have a homeonwer’s claim, this book is great, you really can’t go wrong with it. - Comment Feed for this Post

My parents had an insurance claim after a large tree limb damaged there home and I bought this book after reading an artice the author wrote in a local paper. I read most of it same day and while there’s a lot that doesn’t apply to my parent’s claim, this book was profoundly helpful. The section on tree removal alone saved my parents probably $1,000, just knowing the limits and coverages and what to tell the tree doctors how to arrange the bill. The book is mostly well organized and is super easy to understand. The only complaint is that the “good stuff” doesn’t start until chapter 4, I had to skip ahead. I really hope I don’t ever need this book myself, but at least I’ll know what to do if I do.
