I've only had one claim but had none of that hassle. The insurance companies
are doing all kinds of shitty things though. Each claim is a new experience.

I had a policy like that, with an insurance company that no longer exists.
When I tried to make a claim, they depreciated the "fixed" value by 10% for
each year of the equipment's age. They valued my stolen, mint 35/2 Zuiko at
about £5. It took nearly a year of arguing to get anything like the real
second-hand replacement value. There was nothing in the small print about
depreciation, it was just standard industry practice.
