Forced Placed Flood Insurance

While the banks above have not been named among those engaging in questionable forced placed flood insurance practices, homeowners who borrowed from other establishments have made complaints about having to pay costly and excessive flood insurance policies and Class Action.org would like to determine whether other borrowers were subjected to similar practices. While banks and mortgage lenders can legally force place flood insurance should coverage lapse or fail to meet standard requirements, it is believed that some financial establishments are taking advantage of this permission. Typically, forced-placed flood insurance, which is expensed to the borrower, is almost always more expensive than the coverage the consumer could have bought themselves. Furthermore, it has been alleged that certain banks have been force placing flood insurance when it was not necessary or provided no additional value to the homeowner. 

Flood Insurance Lawsuits

Potentially, homeowners may be able to participate in a flood insurance lawsuit if they were forced or coerced into buying or maintaining:

  • A second flood insurance policy even though they were already covered through a condo association or otherwise
  • Flood coverage which exceeds federal requirements
  • A second flood insurance policy after acceptable coverage was refused
  • More flood insurance than what their mortgage contract requires

If your bank or mortgage company forced placed a second, unnecessary or excessive flood insurance policy on your property, you may have legal recourse. Potentially, you could be able to recover the high costs paid out for this coverage. To find out if you are eligible, complete our free case review form today.
