Yes, I have some experience which I can share with you. Few months back I was in a situation where my place was burglarized, fortunately all my family members were out. But I was left in my house and I was alone for that day. The first thing I did was to call my insurance company, they told me to file a police report and to take photos of my home before the insurance adjusters arrive. The adjusters took the report from me and told me that I would be covered for burglary as part of my homeowners insurance. I followed their instructions and as per the policy, I got a good amount as a settlement. I was glad that my insurance company helped me in this situation, I was feeling helpless at that time. So make sure that you have a good homeowners insurance policy. Any of one have experienced this? share your experience about home insurance.
