So, Allstate might not pay the claim just because this woman's 53 year old "waste of a son" burned down her house. I'm no fan of insurance companies but at some point there is a line. Just where, I'm not sure, but a line...
[b]FEW OPTIONS AFTER ARSON[/b]
Woman says home insurance policy was canceled after fire
By Thomas Moriarty
Mail Tribune
An elderly Talent woman says she’s been left to depend on friends and family after her home was gutted in a suspected arson and her insurance company canceled her policy. Insurance industry officials contend the process of handling fire-related claims isn’t cut-and-dry.
Lola Powell, 81, says she wasn’t home when flames flared Jan. 9 inside her house in the 300 block of South Second Street. “I had to go to the eye doctor to get glasses,” she says.
Seven months later, Oregon State Police detectives arrested Powell’s 53-yearold son, Jeffrey Lynn Kenton, who had been living with her in the home. The Jackson County District Attorney’s Office has since charged Kenton with first-degree arson, a Class A felony carrying a mandatoryminimum sentence of 90 months in prison under Measure 11 guidelines.
Arson investigators believe Kenton intentionally set fire to the home by leaving his mother’s curling iron on in her downstairs bathroom. The affidavit said Kenton also stole some of his mother’s jewelry prior to the fire and sold it on the street for about $1,500.
“He robbed her of everything,” says Powell’s sister Viola Slade.

Can't we just lock people like this up in a room with a huge pile drugs and let them have at it until they expire?
As to the insurance co., the article says MAY not pay. If they don't it would mean they have proof the woman was complicit in the arson.

Allstate has never been much for paying claims. Ranked #1 bad boys. Remember Katrina?
If you have Allstate send me your premium money, I'll at least feel bad for you.

I've heard that. Often.
Poor old lady who lost the house. I mean, how can you keep your son out. "Home is the place that when you knock they have to let you in".
Allstate should pay her, then sue her for raising stupid irresponsible offspring. I can't believe I said that. Yes I can.

Could be...but I wonder: I mean the "kid" was over 50 years old. Did she have knowledge that he might be plotting to destroy her house and maybe in the same stroke, her?
This outta make a couple of lawyers rich.

Allstate has always sucked. I wonder if they save as much money for not helping the old lady as the loose for all this bad publicity.
Like I said Allstate insurance is a ripoff .. I hope people find these key words
I remember YEARS ago when people who had Allstate BTW BAD INSURANCE they would be cancelled if they got in an accident regardless of who was at fault.

I thought about that before I responded, but the "(IMO)" made me think it was was an honest mistake.
