Examination Under Oath or EUO
I have been asked many times what is and why are in insurance companies requesting and exam under oath. An examination under oath is an insurance companies way of attempting to gather information from an insured to not pay their claim. It is as simple as that. An insurance company has a right under the policy and will frequently ask for an exam under oath when they want to be difficult. An insured has the right to be represented during the process and should further explore those options.

Flooded Basement Problems and Water Claim Questions
There have been a lot of questions on what insurance companies cover and policy limitations on flooded basement. Several calls have been recieved from the Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Bay City areas in regards to water damge in their basements. Most home insurance policies have endorsements that limit the amount of recovery due to water backup. When the damage occurs from a broken pipe, the actual dwelling limit on the policy is in full affect. You should always contact your agent to be aware of the policy language and limitations on your policy.
