What is an All-Risk Policy?
An all-risk renter’s insurance policy, also known as a comprehensive policy, will pay to replace items damaged in a rented home or apartment pretty much regardless of why they were destroyed. This is as opposed to a named perils policy, which lists the specific events that must have occurred for the insurance company to pay for the damage. Because all-risk policies cover almost anything, they tend to be more expensive.
Exclusions in All-Risk Policies
Despite its name, an all-risk policy does not cover all risks. Every policy has a list of exclusions or events that your policy will not cover. These vary from policy to policy, but common exclusions include earthquakes, war, nuclear events, smog, and other “freak” accidents. Grisham & Kendall, PLLC can examine your policy to help you determine what your exclusions are.
Help for Delayed/Underpaid/Denied Claims
There are many reasons that you might not have received the result that you wanted from your insurance claim. It’s possible that the event that caused your property damage was listed as an exclusion in your policy, meaning that you cannot recover for it. However, it is also possible that your insurance company intentionally tried to minimize or deny your claim. Many people who don’t know better will accept a lowball offer merely because they think that it is the best they can get. Insurance companies know that many people will not try to contest a low offer, and so they intentionally offer you as little as possible. If you think this is the case, a lawyer from Grisham & Kendall, PLLC can help you negotiate a better offer.
