Insurance Claims Settlements - Castaneda Insurance Services, LLC

CLAIMS SETTLEMENT
Residential property policies also offer different methods of repairing or replacing your property:
  • REPLACEMENT COST - pays for all necessary expenses associated with rebuilding or repairing damaged property, up to the policy limits, less any applicable deductible amount.
  • ACTUAL CASH VALUE - factors in depreciation costs to your claim and pays you the costs to replace or repair the damaged property, less this depreciation and less any applicable deductible amount.
PLEASE NOTE: Most insurance companies that offer replacement cost will initially pay for the loss on an actual cash value basis. The company will pay any additional costs associated with the "replacement cost" once repairs have been made to the property, or the damaged property has been replaced.

Types of Insurance Coverage - Castaneda Insurance Services, LLC

TYPES OF COVERAGE
There are two basic types of coverage offered under residential property policies:
  • ALL RISK - (also known as a comprehensive coverage or open perils coverage) - offers broad protection and covers all perils unless they are specifically excluded by the policy. You should always carefully review the excluded causes of loss section of your policy. Even the most comprehensive policy will exclude certain types of loss (damage caused by flood, for example).
  • NAMED PERILS - (also known as specified perils coverage) offers narrower protection than an all risk policy and covers only those perils specifically named under the policy. A policy that offers named perils coverage will also contain exclusions to perils named under the policy. If you are thinking of purchasing a policy that provides named perils coverage only, it is important make certain that the policy provides coverage for the perils that most concern you.

Dwelling Insurance for Rental Properties

Dwelling policies typically cover rental properties but can also be offered to policyholders in those instances when the structure does not qualify for the company’s homeowner’s policy.
