Should I accept the first offer from an insurance company?
The DP-3 is the widest policy in the ISO housing program. The DP-3, like the HO-3, is open danger for Coverages A and B, but named peril for Coverage C (if purchased). As a result, structural damage caused by wind-driven rain would be covered, but not personal property.
Why do insurance companies lowball?
If you have been hurt but not seriously, you may be offered a lowball settlement since the cost of putting your case to trial would be prohibitive for an attorney. This influences the insurance companies’ offers in many automobile accident cases involving whiplash and modest property damage.
Is wind driven rain a covered peril?

What is wind damage to a roof?
Loose or missing shingles, chimney problems, curling or peeling shingles, granule loss, damaged soffit or fascia, and interior leaks are all signs of wind damage on a roof.
