Is "Act of God" still OK as an insurance cop-out, and if so...

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

...why? And which God?

What it says in the title, really. It's not that I've suffered in any way from "losing" an insurance claim, but this just seems bizarre to me.

I have wondered this too.

There's a film where Billy Connolly sues God for damage to his boat, because the insurers wouldn't pay up. Not sure if he managed to get any damages though....

I recall a comedy sketch where the fire insurance agent was explaining that they never pay out for fires. Basically if it's totally unpredictable then it's an act of god, but if it happened for a reason you should have thought of that and prevented it

Not quite sure how they define it legally since it IS bizarre. If there is a sensible definition then they should use that to describe it.

DH says not - they describe in much more detail what they don't cover and AoG isn't a term that would hold up in court
