Swindling Insurance Companies? A Monticello Letter Responds
A Monticello letter objects to a Express article titled Swindling Insurance Companies. It defends Putnam Insurance adjusters Morgan and Houser, and contrasts estimates for McCormick and Kennedy’s fire loss with policy terms. It alleges over and under valuations, cites $1,116.50 building value, $1,210 Herrick estimate, and notes policy limits and two months payment window.
