the insurance company will be sued and probably pay dearly. Juries often feel sympathy for those who suffer and make companies pay even when the company honored its contractual obligations. If they lived up to their contractual obligations, they should win the case but a good portion of the jury pool feels like those clauses should not be allowed in the contracts so you get jury nullification. Society hasn't decided on this yet. To quote from that long piece Tim posted earlier today, "Yes, consumers prefer that their claims be paid; but they prefer premiums lower rather than higher as well. Competitive pressures lead insurers to balance such conflicting goals in the context of perceived consumer preferences." Trouble is that today's consumers want to have their cake and eat it too.
