img Burglary Insurance

Burglary insurance is a type of property insurance that provides coverage for loss or damage to your home and personal belongings resulting from theft or attempted theft. This insurance policy can provide financial protection to you if your property is burglarized or if you experience loss or damage due to theft.

Burglary involves felonious or forceful entry, but no force was used on a person. One example is a cat burglar sneaking in and out without anyone noticing or getting involved.

To substantiate burglary claims, insurers will want to see proof of ownership of the stolen item(s), a police report and proof that force was used to enter the premises. Examples of this include broken windows, scratch marks on the doors, etc. If there were no signs of forced entry, then you would not be covered under burglary. It would fall under other categories of coverage such as theft or robbery.

Burglary insurance is typically included as a part of most insurance policies including:

  • Travel insurance
  • Home insurance
  • Commercial property insurance

The coverage under burglary insurance typically includes the following:

  • Loss or damage to personal property: This coverage typically reimburses you for the loss or damage to your personal property that was stolen during a burglary.
  • Damage to the property: This coverage typically pays for the damage caused to your property because of the burglary. This can include damage to doors, windows, locks, or any other part of your property that was damaged during the burglary.
  • Replacement cost coverage: This coverage provides you with the full replacement cost of the stolen or damaged property without any deduction for depreciation.
  • Deductibles: The policy may have a deductible, which is the amount you are responsible for paying before the insurance coverage kicks in.
  • Limits: The policy may have limits on the amount of coverage provided for certain types of property, such as jewellery or electronics.

It is important to note that burglary insurance does not cover losses resulting from other types of theft, such as embezzlement, fraud, or identity theft. Additionally, if your property was not properly secured at the time of the burglary, the insurance company may deny your claim.

To purchase burglary insurance, you can typically add it as an endorsement to your existing homeowner’s insurance policy or renter’s insurance policy. Alternatively, you can purchase it as a standalone policy. The cost of burglary insurance depends on various factors such as the location of the property, the type and value of the property, and the level of coverage you need.

Overall, burglary insurance can provide you with peace of mind and financial protection in the event of a burglary. However, it is important to carefully read and understand the policy terms and conditions before purchasing burglary insurance to ensure that it meets your specific needs and requirements.
