Between calls, claims appear that are difficult to believe. The most unusual stories.
inconveniences and accidents? Do you think it’s only something for psychologists or emergency services? The hundreds of employees who work in insurance companies know very well that, for a large part of their day, they will have to assist dozens of people with complex situations: some serious, others more usual and some definitely unusual. This is what happened with these cases where the claims were so strange that they became history.
A thief won a million dollar lawsuit against his victims. It seems that stealing has its guarantees… Like the case of this man who decided to enter a private property when the owners of the house were on vacation. After looking for what he wanted, the thief tried to get out. But he got trapped. So he had to survive by eating the dog’s food and the soft drinks he found in this house.
The surprise of the couple, victims of the situation, was greater. Not only because they found a burglar trapped in their home but because this man sued them for mental anguish that won against this family’s insurance company. Crazy? A little…

A cell phone in the dark world of the cow…. Once upon a time, there was a farmer from Devon, United Kingdom, who assisted his cows in giving birth. One night, one of his animals went into labor.

After hearing the unusual story, the insurance company decided to cover the expense of the iPhone.

A bath for bats, please. An Ottawa couple lived a scary situation when they discovered that there was a plague of bats in their attic. And with them, 4 feet of excrement covering the entire floor.

I’m not dead, just pretending. An Australian millionaire named Harry Gordon tried to fake his death in 2000 to collect no less than 3.5 million from the insurance. His wife, Sheila, and his daughter, Josephine, helped him in this fraud. After collecting, Harry started a new life in New Zealand, but love betrayed him. In this land he met his second wife.
The situation ended very badly when his first wife and her brother, Michael, found him on a walk in Tauranga. Harry was arrested and received a 15-month prison sentence.
Three crazy people, three. In a kitchen in Delaware a frying pan started to burn. Nicholas Di Puma tried to extinguish the fire using a kitchen cloth, but it also started to burn. He then grabbed the frying pan and threw it outside his home, but unfortunately it ended up in the back seat of his car, causing a fire in the vehicle. In addition, a second frying pan caught fire and, when trying to get rid of it, he tripped over a box, which made the frying pan fall on his leather sofa, which caught fire instantly.
The situation was so unbelievable that the authorities began to investigate him and discovered the lie. He was given five years of probation and a fine of 38 thousand dollars. In addition to a burned house and car…
