Are you uncertain of about your condo insurance and aren’t sure what kind of steps you need to take to protect yourself? Please reach out to us at Midwest Professional Insurance to learn more and to make sure that these common mistakes do not affect your policy options.
Assuming the Owner’s Insurance Protects You
Your condo association owner likely has specialized coverage for the structure of the building. You might think that this protects you – it does not. Condo insurance is designed to kick in when your belongings are damaged. The owner’s association only covers the structure – not your items.
Not Knowing What is Covered
Things like smoke, fire, explosions, vandalism, theft, injuries, plumbing, lighting system damage, alternative living expenses, and more are all covered in your condo insurance. It may not cover things like floods, wear and tear, earthquakes, intentional damage, pest damage, and sewage issues.
Picking Cash-Value Reimbursement
You might think you’ll get more money with a cash-value reimbursement policy. However, you are mistaken. Deprecation to the value of that good will cut back how much you get. By contrast, replacement coverage will pay to replace your good, no matter what its initial price.
Trying to Save Money With Bare Walls Policies
Don’t try to save money by buying a bare walls policy because it will only cover the bare structural design of the condo. An all-in policy will cover things like fixtures, structures, plumbing, wiring, and more. As a result, it is important to pay attention to this facet before buying a policy.
Not Trusting Your Provider
If you feel like you’re working with a condo insurance provider you cannot trust, please reach out to us at Midwest Professional Insurance right away. Our team fully understands the different processes needed to handle these steps.
