Re: Fire insurance claim's
Hello-
In a case such as this, the insurance company will look at the report of the fire marshall/department. It is a large burden to overcome. YOU must show how the heater was defective and/or that the landlord knew of it. You must remember that at the time, in your apartment, YOU had exclusive control over it.
Good luck.
