Best Answer

The inheritance check provides hope for the family. Walter wants the check to open a liquor store, so he can secure his family's financial future. The conflict arises because his mother, who actually inherited the money, does not want the money to be used in this manner. After Mama gives Walter a share of the inheritance, Walter makes an ignorant financial move when he entrusts it to his friend Will Harris. Walter loses both his and his sister's shares of the money. Walter almost stoops so low as to grovel at the feet of a white man, who will pay the family to not move to Clybourne Park, in order to replace the money.

That would be considered a comprehensive claim and with the majority of major insurance providers (think State Farm, Allstate, Progressive, Geico, Nationwide, etc) it will not effect your insurance premium. However, it's always best to check with your specific company if a comprehensive claim will effect your rates.
