Coverage
A - Dwelling Coverage
Dwelling Coverage
generally insures the structure, your house, and attached
structures from damage resulting from these risks or perils:
- Fire and lightning
- Windstorm, hail, tornadoes and
hurricanes-in most states
- Explosions
- Theft, vandalism and malicious
mischief
- Riot and civil unrest
- Damage from vehicles
- Sudden, accidental damage from smoke
- Objects falling from the sky
- Weight of snow, ice and sleet
- Accidental discharge or overflow of
water from your plumbing
- Freezing of plumbing
- Sudden, accidental tearing,
cracking, burning or bulging of a steam pipe or hot water
heating system
Coverage A does not
cover damage caused by:
- Earthquakes and Floods. Depending on
where you live, Hurricanes may not be covered, either. If
you need to insure your home against these risks, you may be
able to buy an additional policy or endorsement for each of
these.
- Theft by someone who is named on
your homeowners policy as an insured party.
Uninsurable Risks
There are some events almost no insurance company can cover.
These include damage resulting from:
- War
- Nuclear accident
- Termite, pest or rodent damage
- Pet damage
- Willful damage caused by you or
another covered person in your household
