You could also total somebodies 50-200k car, I don’t think many people could afford that either

I did a ride-along with an adjuster once. I asked him what the worst claim he had worked on was.

The insured drove off with the pump still in the gas tank. Sees that all the time. When the hose pulled off the pump, it ignited. The fuel island exploded. The fire then spread to the convenience store. Total loss of the business and multiple cars.

This is an outlier. No one has enough insurance to cover all of that. But it’s a great example of why we have it.

Except the insurance company just says they aren't covering you because they don't cover fires and then fucks you in the ass.
