Description
On September 3, 1972, Kenneth Reiblys clothing business was damaged by fire. He contacted the agent (Birk) who had procured for him a fire insurance policy (issued by the Statesman Insurance Company) and was told not to worry, that he (Birk) would take care of it. Birk hired a contractor to repair the building and later gave Reibly a check for $2500, representing a $2000 advance to be paid the contractor and $500 for Reiblys expenses in moving his merchandise to another location. Birk told Reibly to prepare an inventory of the damaged goods for purposes of ascertaining the amount of loss sustained. At the insistence of Statesmans claims adjuster (Kachel), a total of three inventories, successively revised downward, were prepared, apparently because of the adjusters belief that Statesman would pay only for those items which showed visible damage. About two or three weeks after the fire, Statesman offered to pay approximately $800 in full settlement of the claim, the loss being computed upon the last inventory submitted. Reibly refused.[Footnote 1]
