homeowners deductibles
Might be a dumb question, but i have never had to do a claim before.
If you have a deductible of say $1000 that you lay out... do you get reimbursed for that later? Or is that money just gone?

Re: homeowners deductibles
The easy way to look at deductibles is as the dollar amount YOU are responsible for before the insurance "kicks in".
So yes, you are responsible for the $1000, then (as long as it's a covered loss) the ins co will pay the balance.
You won't get that $1000 back unless there are extenuating circumstances, like a service worker caused the damage and then your ins co will subrogate against him/the service co to get both their money AND your deductible back.

Gotcha. That is actually the problem. The plumber is at fault. Thanks!
