Name a business that isn't.
I've had insured claims in the past--including a big one with the 1994 Northridge Earthquake--and very little trouble getting paid. Of course, that could also have to do with the letterhead...
My take on insurers is that they are the only business that exists solely to cheat the counterparty to a contract out of the benefits of the contract. When I realized that the best day I could ever have as an insurance defense attorney was to cheat an injured person out of their just compensation I switched sides. I haven't worked for insurers in over 15 years and haven't missed it at all.
