Most homeowners insurance policies sold today can be described as “Open Perils” policies versus “Named Peril” policies. With “Open Perils” you will have more types of losses covered because of the way the policy is written. The “Open Perils” policy covers all causes of loss except for those that are specifically excluded. This is the exact opposite structure of the “Named Perils” policy, which states that it only covers those perils that are specifically listed in the policy.
Here is a list of named perils:
- Fire
- Lightning
- Windstorm
- Hail
- Explosion
- Riot
- Civil commotion
- Aircraft
- Vehicles
- Smoke
- Vandalism
- Malicious mischief
- Falling objects
- Weight of ice, snow, or sleet
- Accidental discharge or overflow of water or steam
- Sudden and accidental damage from artificially tearing apart, cracking, burning or bulging
- Freezing
- Sudden and accidental damage from artificially generated electrical current
- Volcanic eruption
- Theft
The popularity of the “Open Perils” policy is primarily due to the insurance industry’s desire to provide better coverage for its customers. Better coverage, however, should not be construed as complete coverage that covers everything that might happen.
When you look closely at the exclusions in the “Open Perils” policy you may notice some large gaps in coverage. The good news is that some of these gaps can be addressed with additional coverage options. Having an awareness of what is not covered will enable you to decide whether the optional coverages are worth the extra expense.
Please see the list below for several of the most common exclusions from a homeowners policy.
- Ordinance
- Law
- Earth Movement
- Power failure
- Neglect
- War
- Nuclear Hazard
- Intentional Loss
- Water damage
- Acts or Decisions
- Faulty, inadequate or defective planning, zoning, etc…
