Sure, they're legally obliged to pay out. But if you've just lost your
house and you are now penniless... what are you going to do? Sue them?
Oh, wait, you have no money. :-P
> If they never paid out, then people wouldn't buy insurance.
Maybe I'm just bitter. I paid £900 for a moped. When it was stolen, they
gave me £25. Later I paid $1,200 for a car. When it was crashed, they
gave me £75. I mean, seriously, it was *so* worth paying £700 per year
in insurance premiums for that.
