Question
about a month ago i was at work and our van started on fire and burnt to the ground.  I had personal items including gps, tools, car charger for phone, cloths, shoes and a watch. now my work is saying that the insurance company wants the original receipts for it all along with me signing an affidavit. dose that sound rite to you? personally i know that they all ready got payed for the van and it sounds fishy to me. how will i get receipts for stuff that i have enquired my whole life.  

Answer
Hello Eric,

Usually, insurance companies want evidence that the personal property was there. Sometimes it might be a receipt, but it could be photo, an affidavit, or something more than your word.

It works that way.

If you think you are being frame, please contact an attorney.
