This
is meant to be a general overview. Please read your policy for
specific coverage.
Q.
Does my policy cover plumbing repairs?
A. The key is whether the problem is a "sudden break".
Leaky pipes are not covered but a pipe that bursts and damages
your property would be covered. Remember that the pipes themselves
are not covered by any damage done to floors or walls is covered.
Q.
What is the difference between "medical payments" and
"liability" coverage?
A. Liability covers your defense if someone should sue
you because they got hurt on your property or as a result of your
activities. However, you cannot have a "criminal" intent.
If you accidentally should hit someone or their car with a shopping
cart, you would be covered.
If you deliberately hit them, you would not be covered. Medical
payments cover you if someone gets hurt but you are not legally
responsible. Typically medical payments are called "emergency
room" payments. If your neighbor should spill a cup of coffee
on their arm and burn themselves, your medical payments coverage
would cover a trip to the doctor.
Q.
Is damage done by pets covered?
A. Generally damage done by pets is not covered. Damage
done to your personal property by birds would ordinarily not be
covered.
