What’s Does a Typical Property Insurance Policy Cover in Texas?

What’s covered under your insurance will depend on the specifics of your policy. Some property insurers exclude perils and risks commonly listed under other insurance policies. For example, if you live along the Gulf Coast and acquire a commercial property insurance policy, then your policy will likely exclude wind and hail damage. However, if your business is more mid-land, then the policy you purchase will typically cover both wind and hail damage.

Before you file a claim, it’s important you look at your policy to ensure the risk or peril is covered. If you do not have a copy of your insurance contract, then you can always request one from your insurance agent or insurance company.

The following are some damages that may be protected under a typical property insurance policy.

It is equally important to understand what is not covered by your policy.  Insurance coverage varies by policy, so what may be protected under your homeowners insurance policy may not be protected under a commercial property insurance policy. Additionally, you may have purchased added protections to ensure you are covered from certain perils or risks. That is why it is recommended that you thoroughly read your policy.
