Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Insurance
Get straight and simple answers to all your insurance frequently asked questions. These FAQs were gathered from Canadian like you.
What is the difference between Broad Form (All-Risk) and Named Peril insurance coverage?
As the name suggests, Broad Form insurance coverage covers all losses unless otherwise specifically excluded. Named Peril policies will insure against listed risks explicitly stated in the policy, with all others assumed to be excluded. In both cases, you can add or amend coverage to your policy as a rider.
Does Commercial Property Insurance cover vacant properties?
Non-residential property is considered vacant after 30 days and seen as high-risk. When your property is vacant or unoccupied for a prolonged period, it is more susceptible to property damages, such as theft and vandalism, which may affect how your insurer would handle a claim. As a result, your insurer may remove some key coverages from your policy, such as vandalism related property damage after 30 days of vacancy. To better understand the restrictions around commercial property vacancy, please speak to your broker.
Does Commercial Property Insurance cover employee theft?
No Employee theft is covered under Crime Insurance coverage. Although Commercial Property Insurance will protect businesses from property damage by third-parties, it does not cover stolen money or securities. Many Canadian corporations/businesses are concerned about employee theft. To protect your business from Employee Theft and also theft of money and securities, forgery, and computer fraud from a third party, add Crime Insurance to your insurance policy.
