A fire started by an Oasis watercooler destroyed this company, and Chubb insurance is refusing to pay because the owner was risking his life rescuing a cat and six kittens and not some data tapes from the burning office building!

   I sympathize with your plight on many different levels. First and foremost I am an animal lover with a cat and a dog, and would risk my life to save them.
   Secondly, my father had a fire in his house, and his first concern was rescuing his dogs. Thankfully he did not have Chubb Insurance and was paid for the dameges to his house.
   Thirdly, I am an adjuster for a major insurance company (NOT CHUBB!!!!!) and have always been adamant about paying people what they are due. I just wanted to let you know there are still some good insurance adjusters, that will do everything possible to do the right thing.
   I am proud to know that there are still people in this world who care more about life than about what it takes to make the almighty dollar. Hang in there and always keep the faith.

   EPD is asking everyone to please help us spread the word about this disgusting behavior. Boycott Oasis Watercoolers, don't insure with Chubb Insurance, and above all:
Make SURE there is not an Oasis Watercooler in your home, or where your children go to school.
If your child is hurt or, God forbid, killed by one of these Oasis Watercoolers, you won't want to hear, "Unfortunately, we don't insure children." It takes very little to check, and even less to replace it, and could save you so much grief. Let's face it, all we lost was our jobs and business. I'd hate to see someone else lose a child.    A list of Oasis' competitors, and other water product suppliers is available   here.
Read the article published in the   Pryor Daily Times    The cat and the man in the hat
    ...and the follow-up letter published in the Pryor Daily Times     Real Heroes were Firefighters, Police
        What it's like in a burning office... ...with your pockets full of kittens
            ...and the rest of the story: Kittens saved, Jobs lost while Oasis and Chubb stonewall
Models, Actresses, MIS Managers, Truck Drivers, Insurance Adjusters, even Oasis employees also object to these sleazy tactics! Visit these 'copycat' sites to see what they have to say.
Norm Murphy, Oasis Manufacturing:    "Didn't you have time to get both? Data and cats? We only pay for actual damages."

In a nutshell: EPD asked Oasis to pay for destroying our company and jobs; Oasis told us they would not, because I rescued kittens instead of our files; EPD sued Oasis for the cost of replacing our company(about $57,000); Oasis sued EPD and I for $703 million to shut us up. When other people began complaining about that, Oasis threatened to sue to shut them up!
PLEASE HELP US FIGHT OFF THIS DESPICABLE ATTACK!
   Thank you very much, and I hope all of your new years are better than ours.    I also hope your business dealings involve people with a better corporate conscience than those we've encountered.
