Fire in Ventress destroys home of state police employee

Except it does if written properly….

If any of the news outlets reports anything on it I will share for credibility. But with no one injured or worse it may not have any coverage

Thanks. That’s the house. There are pics on the Pointe Coupee fire district 3 Facebook page. Got some great support today from people I shared this with on my social media. And they have a place to stay provided by their church in st Francisville.

It’s too bad people that scam and take advantage of people that are facing real hardships.

This is absolute bullshite. Insurance from a fire covers your personal property and your building. There are significant other coverages built into policies to cover things like extra housing expenses and meals out.

Only once have I ever given to anyone after a house fire. Two months later he was telling me how much money he got from the insurance company and they were going to rebuild with some serious remodels. His house ended up being beautiful and way nicer than before it burned down and he had all brand new stuff.

Yes, it is tragic when you lose some of your memorabilia and heirlooms. That sucks and you can’t replace this but insurance minus their deductible will cover all their expenses.

They may not have had a replacement cost policy on this house. If they did, then you would be mostly correct.

<——House fire honoree in 1993.

Didn’t burn to the ground, the structural damage was approximately 60% of the total home value, contents were close to a total loss.

State Farm stepped up mightily, we used a warranted contractor recommended by them, were paid dislocation money immediately, and had as great of an experience as possible following a casualty loss.

Obviously I don’t know the specifics of these folks’ loss but compared to Hurricane claims, fire claims are generally handled very fairly (per the policy conditions & limits) by insurance companies.
