Do I Really Have to Pay My Deductible?

Let’s be honest.

Nobody gets excited about paying a deductible. You just filed an insurance claim. Your roof’s leaking. You’re already stressed. Then someone drops the line:

“Don’t worry—we’ll cover your deductible.”

Sounds like a win, right?

Not so fast.


Here’s the Truth

Your deductible isn’t a suggestion. It’s a contract. It’s the part you agreed to pay when you signed your policy. It’s how the system stays honest.

So yes—you’re legally required to pay it.

And when a contractor says they’ll make it disappear? What they’re actually saying is:

“Let’s commit insurance fraud together.”

Yikes.


But Everyone’s Doing It… Right?

That doesn’t make it legal.

In Kentucky, it’s a crime to fudge numbers, fake estimates, or inflate an invoice just to wipe away your deductible. Even if it’s “normal” in the industry, it’s still wrong. And it puts you—yes, you—at risk.

Because here’s the deal: if someone’s willing to lie to your insurance company... what else are they cutting corners on?
