Fight a denied home insurance water damage claim
The poster used AI to research their policy and state laws, contested a partial denial of water damage coverage, and says they won.
- What They Did
- After a fallen branch left a hole in the roof and more than $60,000 in water damage, the poster says they used AI to study their homeowners policy, research relevant state laws, and build a strategy to challenge the carrier’s decision. The insurer covered only $254 for the roof at first and denied the water damage three times before reversing; afterward, the poster turned that process into an app that reads policies, manages documents, builds timelines, and packages claim materials for contractors or legal teams.
- How It Went
- The poster says the reversal saved them more than $60,000 in out-of-pocket costs. The source does not spell out the exact letters, prompts, or appeal steps they sent, so the mechanics are only described at a high level.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch is time: the poster says they spent a long time on the research and that packaging documents for others used to take hours.
