What is the purpose of the insurance company's investigation? The agent "interviewed" me a couple of weeks ago, and he sent me a typed copy of my statement and said that the claim would be resolved "soon." How long does the process take? There were 2 policies (term, and AD&D). My husband's death was ruled an accident, however on the police report, a witness stated that my husband "looked as if he was on drugs and kept walking out into traffic." I assume the insurance company will look at that police report, right? Is that witness's comment enough for the insurance co to not pay the claim, based on the policy's suicide exclusion? In the interview, the agent asked several questions regarding alcohol, drugs, smoking, our relationship, depression, etc. The agent also gave me the impression that he was going to speak to my husband's parole officer and family members. What is he trying to get at? And are people's statements enough to keep the company from paying?
