I keep my motorcycle in my garage at my house. I was doing research on insurance as mine was cancelled because of the hurricanes. I have until Feb. 27 to find one.

But I never knew about sinkhole insurance.

Yea, it's a pretty big deal up here in PA.. Limestone everywhere being undercut by underground waters diverted by construction..
Has some pretty disasterous results!!! This one was in Allentown..

Any chance we can stick the lawyer in the sinkhole?

Unfortunatly I don't think we could find a sink hole deep enough to make a difference in this country...

We just went through the cancellation thing as well in Rhode Island.

We received a letter in October that said because we live on the coast and are in the potential path of hurricanes they would not renew our homeowners insurance when it came up for renewal in November.

They were very happy to have received our premiums for the last 23 years but because they may have to pay a claim in the future they were no longer insuring homes in our area.

So, try to find another company to insure your home in four weeks when they know that the other companies won't because of a potential claim. When you find that company they were more than happy to insure the house for more than twice what we were paying.

I wouldn't doubt that the first company also owns the second company which than doubles the premiums. It's extortion.

I'm glad I read the link....

I thought it said StinkHole......

It's bad enough what insurance companies are doing to policyholders but they also expect the government to bail them out when they take major losses. Of course the government will simply collect more taxes fron us, the propertyowners.

I don't agree with the government backing insurance companies. The insurance guys gamble that they won't take big losses and we pay our premiums just in case we need the help. Government intervention just MUCKS up the system.

Insurance companys have made a killing this year.. they raised rates
thinking there would be another bad hurricane season...

Most insurance companys are owned by politicians in Washington..

they have a license to steal................................

Some of our spouses think our Wings are a prime example of a "sinkhole". :lol: :lol: :lol:

So, why are you guys riding your bikes during hurricanes, anyway?

Just sign a document that you double, double promise that you won't ride it during a hurricane.


We're paying the price, now, for previous bikers who knew, in advance, that a hurricane was impending, and COULD have moved their bikes to a safer location, but intentionally allowed them to flood, so they could purchase a newer motorcycle!!

Similarly, NJ auto insurance rates are very high because of MV accident fraud!

OK, I'm down, off my soapbox, now.

I'm fully aware that some insurance companies funds were nearly depleted from payments, but that's the unpredictable nature of insurance (gamblig if it will or won't).

I will be giving them a call.

 

[tequilaroy]

Me too. Mine's being cancelled by Allstate at the end of January.

 

[Palpatine]

Well they sell _-hole insurance (uninsured motorist), why shouldn't they sell sinkhole insurance? If people will buy it, they have a policy for it!

 

[Arn Butt Bill]

Metlife covers sinkholes the last time I checked.
I had Broward County Farm Bureau in FL though...

Looks like Royal Palm is only taking Allstate policies at this time and they do an inspection to see if there is any damage before they write the policy. In one of the things I read I think it said that they are only doing 3,000 policies a year.

So I am out of luck. Well onto the next one.

INS.

I've been saying for years we "ALL" need to cancel every insurance policy we've got.Stand together against the insurance companies until they get some sense.
Of course you can't get two people to stand together these days,much less a nation....

YMMV

 

[BACKDRAFT]

I have hartford insurance thru the AARP Program and my rates are extremely inexpensive. I live in a site built concrete block home and live near a lake.

You might to check with them if you are over 50.

Hope this helps.

Not if you live in Florida, been there done that, they will not write policies there even if you live 35 miles inland away from the beach.
