Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Most life insurance companies have clauses in their policies that stipulate that claims will be denied if the insured person has died of an overdose or as a result of drug use. The life insurance company may also require a drug test to prove the cause of death. Depending on the policy, a death caused by drug use may even result in the life insurance company refusing to pay out the policy altogether.

Does homeowners insurance cover fire damage to a neighbor’s property?
Homeowner's insurance may cover fire damage to a neighbor's property in some cases. Generally, if the fire started on your property and caused damage to your neighbor’s property, then your homeowner's insurance will usually cover the damage under your personal liability coverage. However, the coverage is usually limited to the amount of insurance you have purchased and may not cover all of the costs associated with the damage. It is important to check with your insurance provider to make sure that you are adequately covered before a fire occurs.
How can a fire damage insurance claim lawyer help me?
A fire damage insurance claim lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and maximize your recovery after a fire. They can help you understand the intricacies of your policy, advise you on how to document losses, negotiate settlements, and represent you in court if necessary.

Is wind damage to a fence covered by insurance?
Wind damage to a fence is usually covered by homeowners insurance, depending on the cause of the damage.
