Flood Insurance Puzzle

[igorblackbelt]

Hey guys,

I currently rent and had a water damaged on the apartment I live (2nd floor), the damage was caused by the washer machine that broke and over floated, causing some of the water to make to my neighbor's (1st floor) apartment.

I called the owner, he says he has flood insurance on the apartment, but I don't think that's going to cover the damages on the neighbor's apartment.

Should any other insurance cover this type of damage? If not, who should be paying for this? Any other thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium. An insurer is a company selling the insurance.

I completely agree with Syrus..I also think so that An insurer is a company selling the insurance.
