Author Description

Flood insurance is the ultimate insurance paradox. There are thousands of flood insurance policies but very few people seem to understand them. There are probably more flood insurance claims every year than any other type of insurance claim, but few attorneys know how to handle them. Not many people seem to like the federal flood insurance program but, if it were not for the government issuing flood insurance policies, there would be no flood insurance and America would be very different from the way we know it: there would be few, if any, homes or buildings of any kind near the oceans, the gulfs, the rivers, or other bodies of water. This book helps to minimize the paradox by providing an explanation about flood insurance and the handling of a claim. A person reading and understanding this book should be able to handle a flood insurance claim, whether that person is the insured or an attorney for the insured. The authors know of no book about flood insurance, other than federal government manuals, and they hope that this book makes the process functional, as it should be.
