Hurricane Sandy and insurance?

Insurance companies can certainly drop you for putting in claims; especially lots of small ones.

Their insurance company may not be writing coverage in the area of that home anymore, which could also be the issue.

If they are non-renewing the policy, the state will require that the company provide an explanation. Rather than play telephone here, just ask your friend to look at their non-renewal letter and you will have a better idea of the reasons for the non-renewal.

Insurance can drop you, but only after claims are paid.

Could be that the insurance company is going under.

All a person has to do is find another company.

Not for Hurricane Sandy, the insurance can not drop you. Its was a catastrophic event. If you've had several other claims in the past (i.e. water damage, theft, kitchen fire) just to name a few the insurance company may cancel you.

Probably what happened is the company lost too much money and won't insure property in that area any more, so they are dropping all of the policies in that area.

call for for insurance will upward push, grant of insurance will fall (by fact insurance companies do no longer prefer to ought to pay obscene quantities of money to those that lost their homes)

depends entirely on your state's insurance laws.

do expect a raise in rates at least.

dropping may be legal.

company still has to pay claims.
