All-Risk Insurance vs. Named Peril Policy: What is the difference?

Which is Better? All-risk or Named Peril?

All Risk InsuranceAl-lrisk insurance or a named peril insurance policy, which is better in a given situation?

Basically, insurance companies write two types of policies for homeowners and small businesses: named peril and all risk (all-risk is also known as an open peril policy or a comprehensive).

What’s the Difference?

The “named peril” insurance policy covers only what is specifically mentioned in the policy.  If the policy says it doesn’t say you’re covered for vandalism damages or backed up sewers, you are not covered. The named peril insurance policy only covers specific perils, so it is usually less expensive than an all-risk or open peril insurance policy.

A typical named peril policy would cover fire, windstorm, hail, aircraft, riot, vandalism, explosion and smoke. Flood insurance and earthquake insurance are two other common examples of named peril policies, and are generally written as separate policies.   When coverage is written as a named peril basis, the burden is on you, the insured, to prove that one of the named perils caused the loss.

An “all-risk” or open peril policy covers everything that is not specifically excluded in the insurance policy. The all-risk insurance policy usually costs more than the named peril policy because it offers more comprehensive coverage. Also, under an all-risk policy, the burden is not on you, but on the insurance company, to prove that the peril causing the damage is not excluded; if it’s not excluded then coverage applies. The exclusions and limitations are the key to determining what coverage is provided by an all-risk policy.

The most common perils excluded in an all-risk policy include:

•War

•Flood, mudslide, seepage & sewer backup (and sometimes surface water that builds up after heavy rains, underwater springs, groundwater, burst water pipes, overflowing toilets, and wind or wave-driven water)

•Governmental seizure or destruction of property

•Boiler explosion

•Off-premises utility service interruption

•Building ordinance or law

•Seepage or leakage of water over a period of time

•Electrical damage to electrical devices

•Employee dishonesty

•Wear and tear; rust, corrosion, fungus, decay, deterioration, hidden or latent defect smog; settling, cracking, shrinking, or expansion; nesting, infestation or release of secretions by insects, birds, rodents or animals

•Damage to building interiors by rain, snow, sleet, ice, sand, or dust unless the roof or walls are first damaged – except damage by thawing of snow, ice or sleet

•Mechanical breakdown

•Theft of building materials and supplies not yet attached to buildings

•Pollution

•Earthquake or earth movement

So which insurance is the better choice?

If you are paying a mortgage, it is unlikely that you will have a choice. Most lenders require that you carry a comprehensive policy to protect their investment.

For all others, the type of insurance to purchase should be based on your needs depending on the type of property you have and your. The advantage of an all-risk policy is that it covers you in the event you have a loss that you did not predict. Even though all-risk policies may cost you  a little more, in a world where freak accidents happen, the broader your insurance coverage protection, the better off you will probably be. Just be sure to read the fine print so that you are clear about the stated exclusions.

AGE 65 OR OLDER EXEMPTION (Tax Code §11.13(c), (d)): You may qualify for this exemption if you are 65 years of age or older. You cannot receive a disability exemption if you receive this exemption.

SURVIVING SPOUSE OF INDIVIDUAL WHO QUALIFIED FOR AGE 65 OR OLDER EXEMPTION UNDER TAX CODE §11.13(d) (Tax Code §11.13(q)): You may qualify for this exemption if: (1) your deceased spouse died in a year in which he or she qualified for the exemption under Tax Code §11.13(d); (2) you were 55 years of age or older when your deceased spouse died; and (3) the property was your residence homestead when your deceased spouse died and remains your residence homestead.

Drive Legal In Texas

Drive Legal in Texas

As a new Texas resident, you have 30 days to “drive legal in Texas” by registering your vehicle and getting your Texas driver’s license.

Drive Legal in TexasBefore you register your vehicle, though, it must pass the state inspection process. And before you get an inspection, you must purchase Texas auto insurance.

Here are the four steps to follow:

1. Purchase Texas Auto Insurance.  State minimum requirements are $30,000 bodily injury liability per person/$60,000 per accident and $25,000 property damage liability

2. Take your vehicle to a local state inspection station. Find a list of what types of inspections are required in your county (plus an inspections-station locator) at the Department of Public Safety Web site.  Make sure you take your current driver’s license and proof of insurance.  You will need to show proof that you carry the minimum coverage required by the state: $30,000 bodily injury or death to one person; $60,000 bodily injury or death to two or more persons; and $25,000 injury or destruction to other property.

3. The inspection station will give you a verification form to bring to the county tax assessor-collector’s office when your car passes the inspection. Here  you will obtain a Texas vehicle registration sticker and license plates. You’ll need proof of ownership, such as registration or title from your previous home state, as well as proof of your insurance.

4. Then apply for a Texas driver’s license at the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) office in your area. Make sure to bring an ID, proof of Social Security number, proof of liability insurance, and proof of Texas vehicle registration. Expect to provide a thumbprint and surrender any valid out-of-state license you currently have.
