Question

Which of the following losses would be covered by an insurance policy with comprehensive coverage? The car radiator develops a leak after the car has 100,000 miles on it. The car is stolen and never recovered. The car skids on icy pavement and strikes a guardrail. The car is damaged as a result of being struck by a truck that ran a red light.

Answer 1

THE LOSSES COVERED BY INSURANCE POLICY WITH COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE:

An insurance policy with comprehensive coverage is dubbed as insurance coverage for God’s acts which includes theft, vandalism, weather, etc.

Hence, we can conclude that the comprehensive insurance would cover the following losses,

• When the car is stolen and is never recovered
• When the car skids on an icy pavement and hits the guardrail

Whereas the insurance wouldn’t cover a faulty radiator after 10000 miles and the damage caused by a truck which skipped the red light.
