Does this sound right?


It might be. If her insurance doesn't cover it, then she has to cover it
personally. So what's the issue?


I have always been told that if a neighbors tree falls on your house, it's
your problem not theirs, and you can't do anything about it.

Kinda sucks, but that's the way it goes....

Who cares? That is why YOU have an insurance agent that earned a commission
on your policy. Call them.

And raise your CLUE score for having a loss even though you do not make a
claim

No, no, no! Only with extreme caution. My neighbor did
that and got his premiums increased even though he didn't
get any money from his own insurance company. Those
f***ing computers remember everything that you do.
