The insured had a fire accident in the kitchen, causing significant damage. After reviewing the damage, the claims adjuster requests the purchase receipts or information on the cost of certain appliances in the kitchen. The insured fails to provide complete information and hence only 75 percent of the total damage was covered. Does the client have a valid claim against the insurer in court of law for the outstanding 25 percent?
