RE: Shelter vs. State Farm for home insurance in Missouri - any strong opinions?
I hear you on the claim response - my cousin’s still grumbling about Shelter dragging their feet after a tornado last year. That said, I’ve had State Farm for ages and they’re not perfect either... paperwork took forever...
RE: Weighing legal trouble vs. losing trust: which is worse after fraud?
I get what you’re saying about trust issues sticking around, but I’m not sure they always have as much weight as an actual legal record. Like, Maybe for some jobs or industries, but when I applied for car insurance afte...

RE: just saw a story about a guy in Kansas whose car got totaled by hail, and turns out his insurance didn't cover it.
