My client’s home has been sinking.  She submitted a claim to her homeowner’s insurance company which sent out a geotechnical engineer and geologist to investigate the claim.  The engineer and geologist concluded that the home was sinking because of the “high organic content” in the soil, and was not due to any sinkhole activity. 

Contrary to the engineer’s and geologist’s conclusion, their actual tests results indicated that the sinking home was indeed due to sinkhole activity.  I filed a lawsuit against the insurer for breach of contract. 

I spent the day today taking the deposition of the insurance company’s geologist.  The case is currently set for trial in April. 

As with many of my insurance cases, if we win, the insurance company has to pay all of my fees and costs, and if we lose, I’ll work for free.  There are no out of pocket fees or costs for my client. 

The car insurance sector has been facing a tough time amidst the current downturn. A recent research shows that about 70% of the insurance companies in UK would charge you without much thought if you thought about ending your policy on a premature basis. This has been a 22% increase since the year 2004. It was also seen that about 67% of these insurance companies would charge you for just changing about the details in your policy. The previous value stood at a shocking 17% just indicating that the insurance sector has been showing unintended additional charges over the years.

Introduction

Most of us stay well clear of vehicles with a red “L” at the back. Even though such an indication that a Learner Driver might be behind the wheel is no longer a requirement – many decide that it is still a safe option to alert other road users to this potential danger. The red “L” usually tells me that the driver is an inexperienced driver who might act unpredictable and it is best to allow such a driver some space and time to operate the vehicle.

Car Insurance Companies and cover for the Learner Driver

We approached a few car insurers to enquire whether they will insure the learner driver. It appear
