Where to look on your policy

Most of what you need is on two or three pages. You don’t need to read all forty. Here’s where the answers usually hide.

1
Declarations pageThe summary at the front: your coverages, limits and deductibles. Look for liability limits, Other Structures, Loss of Use and any separate wind deductible.
2
Endorsements listUsually on the declarations page as form numbers and names. This is where add-ons like water backup, equipment breakdown and scheduled jewelry show up.
3
Exclusions and special limitsIn the policy form itself. Search the PDF for the terms shown on each scenario, like “seepage”, “vacancy” or “special limits”.

Please read: These scenarios are general, educational examples of how common insurance policy forms often respond. They are not a statement of coverage and do not change any policy. Policy forms, endorsements, limits, deductibles and exclusions vary by insurance company and by policy, and the facts of every loss are different. Whether a specific loss is covered depends on your policy’s actual terms and the insurance company’s claim decision. Dollar examples are illustrative and simplified, and generally leave out deductibles. Ask us to review your own policy before relying on any of this information.
