I recently had damage caused by Hurricane Issac on one of my mobile homes and had Foremost Insurance come out to assess the damage and file a claim.I was very disappointed to find out I have "loop hole" clauses in my policy that have basically reduced my claim to nearly zero.For instance there is a clause;"damage must be caused by storm induced openings" I've had water leakage into several spots in my mobile home and the adjuster said he could not see any "storm induced openings" that caused the damage.Another one is:"not responsibe for wind blown rain" damageNow how many of you think hurricanes can cause "wind blown rain" damage.
