What is Renter’s Insurance?

Renters, or tenants, take on a certain level of risk when they move into a new property. Typically speaking, these risks are not extended to the building, or unit itself, but rather to the renter’s belongings housed within.

More often than not, property owners will have protection against the structure and amenities of the building, and that means if a fire destroys the unit, or if a flood damages its floors, the unit itself will be covered. But what if that same fire, or flood, destroys everything inside; everything you, the tenant, owns? Without renter’s insurance, your belongings will not be covered under the property owner’s policy. The only way to ensure the protection of your material belongings as a tenant is to purchase renter’s insurance.

Renter’s Insurance Claims Denials

Negligence is often the primary cause for renter’s insurance claims denials. And to help you better understand what a negligent act entails in this instance, consider the following example. If you have renter’s insurance to protect your belongings in the event of a fire, but you, the tenant, caused the fire by falling asleep with a cigarette in your hands, that is deemed a negligent act, and it is unlikely that the insurance company will cover the loss of your personal property.

It is important to keep in mind that not all renter’s insurance denial claims are rooted in negligent acts. Sure, insurance companies may try to say that the fire in question was your fault (it is in their best financial interest to dispute claims in an effort to avoid a hefty payout), but if you know that the fault is not yours, then you need to fight the denial with the help of seasoned attorneys like those at Pacin Levine P.A.

Whether you are a tenant or a property owner, insurance is supposed to exist to protect you. Often times, however, the protection you expect is not the compensation you receive when a claim is filed, reviewed and otherwise acted upon. If your claim is being disputed for any reason, you have a choice. You can either accept what the insurance provider is telling you, or you can seek help from a team of seasoned litigators who care.
