There are two types of insurance claims caused by Hurricane Harvey, hurricane or wind claims and flood claims. Let’s examine both in detail and what policies cover each type.
I am occasionally asked by a new or existing client whether their home insurance policy covers an air conditioning compressor or water heater that’s going bad. In most cases, the answer is no, unless it’s caused by an event justifying a claim such as a lightning strike, a tree limb that fell on it, etc. Two home insurance carriers offer a coverage option worth considering for their policy holders called Equipment Breakdown coverage and it may provide an attractive option worth adding to your policy.

Their plan is to convert it into an RV and live in it as they drive to different parts of the country where they’ll live and work for varying timeframes. The question is what kind of car insurance would they need and who’d write it?
