I'm pretty sure the major ins companies do not do that. Think State Farm and Allstate. Their adjusters, for the most part, truly do a good job and want to do the right thing, not just because they should "do the right thing", but because it's also good business to maintain customers. But the major companies are no longer available in some of these high risk states like FL, so the smaller less reputable companies move in.

It seems FL is a hotbed for this type of fraud.

60 Minutes: Insurers Altering Hurricane Damage Reports – This is Not Cool (thinc.blog)


Well, that’s one way to deal with massive increases in storm damage.

Falsify inspection reports, lowball the damage payouts, and dare the cheated customers to sue.

Helene might be one of the most expensive storms ever, and the inspections would just be getting started.

Climate Change is going to be messy.
