a big provider to many Katrina victims... didnt make those people pay eitherI know there are a few instances where insurance companies aren't required to make payments, and a few situations where companies cannot demand compensation for damages. My memory may be a little foggy, things may be different, or I could be wrong, but the two that come to mind are "acts of war" and "acts of god". I don't know what "acts of god" is supposed to mean, but I do know that "act of war" is something that has been in life insurance (and probably a couple of other insurances) in the past. Under circumstances that have been labeled by a higher authority as "act of ___", it may give excuses to avoid payment.
