John Codie,

That was VERY WELL written and true. You are absolutely right.
People who find themselves in a position of possibly having to
litigate against their insurers to be made financial whole;
need to go into the matter with eyes fully opened of what that
really means to one's life.

It is not a matter of avoiding litigation at ALL costs, but it
IS a matter of understanding the "costs" of years of litigation
when making the decision.

We tried to settle ours without litigating for nearly a year.
But then our insurer sued us in a declaratory relief action for
not accepting $30K for making house unlivable. We had no
choice but to countersue them, the remediator and the insurer's
lab that falsely cleared the house after the botched
remediation.

Let's hope this woman turns up okay. I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
to base this thought on, but it would seem logical to me that
if there was a divorce in the past couple of years; perhaps
there is something this woman was dreading be discussed on the
witness stand to be rehashed in front of her children. No
doubt, they have already suffered enough. And no doubt, the
insurer would have made them suffer through it.
