Just "hearsay", but I had a customer (nothing at all to do with towers, 
etc.) who called her insurance company regarding a claim, didn't like 
the answers she got off-hand and demanded to get higher up the 
food-chain for answers, and was told that doing so *would* be a black 
mark against her... of course, that's here in FL, where insurance 
companies are used to flogging us. They'll cancel you at the drop of a 
hat here. They summarily cancelled my policy on the Monday the 16th 
following our recent Friday the 13th hurricane, on a house I'd owned 
only a few months, with the policy paid-in-full for a year, and no 
claims. The Insurance Commisioner spanked 'em for that, but it gives you 
an idea of how it sometimes goes here.
FWIW that was Tower Hill Insurance.
