Can I get insurance on a mobile home that was written up as a total loss on my insurance?
A tree fell on my mobile home and was totaled. My insurance company paid it off as a total loss. I am fixing it up and wonder if I can get insurance on it with another company?

This is not a legal question, per se; there is no law preventing any insurer from insuring anything (well, anything that's not illegal--like illegal drugs). The issue is *whether* an insurer will provide insurance on it, and the only way to find out is to contact insurers and see if they will offer you a quotation or write a policy. Just be careful, as you do this, to completely and honestly divulge the loss history; if you misrepresent or omit critical information, then you may be committing insurance fraud and could yourself incur liability (civil, and possibly even criminal) as well as invalidate any coverage you did get. Try contacting multiple insurers--you allowed to contact as many as you like, and maybe one will offer you coverage. Good luck.
