Nationwide Property And Casualty: the denial record

An estimate for the full repair of the damages, including roof, gutter, window screen, and interior repairs, was prepared on the Crawleys' behalf, totaling $107,223.78.

However, despite these admissions, Nationwide has failed to issue payment commensurate with the necessary repairs, instead providing a grossly inadequate estimate of $2,206.70.

Moreover, PPC determined that at least $59,598.41 worth of repairs would be required to return the property to its pre-loss condition as a result of the windstorm loss.

After assessing the damage and the true scope of repairs, the roofing contractor prepared an estimate identifying $50,820.00 in covered damage to the roof and $5,213.00 in covered damage to the solar panel system.

The Insured and Insured's representative provided the Insurance Company with all claim-related documents including an estimate to repair covered damages in the amount of $49,959.92 and other supporting documentation and/or information.

The estimate reflected a purported covered amount of $836.42, which, after subtracting the $1,000 deductible, resulted in no coverage whatsoever.

After assessing the damage and the true scope of repairs, the public adjuster produced an estimate identifying $40,368.04 in covered damage to the dwelling.

Whereas, the carrier furnished a wrongful estimate and, having withheld the deductible, offered deficient payments in the amounts of only $3,239.86 and $2,938.47, leaving a remainder in the amount of $32,416.37 to be paid in order to cure the breach, less any applicable policy deductible.

NATIONWIDE failed to pay the insured's claim under the homeowner's insurance policy when, under all of the circumstances, it could and should have done so, had it acted fairly and honestly and with due regard for the interests of insured.

The Carrier performed a cursory inspection of the Insured Property and failed to retain unbiased experts necessary to scope the entirety of the Loss and covered repairs necessary to restore the Insured Property to its pre-loss condition.
