There are many scenarios in which a standard policies could fall short of a private clients’ needs.
Most insurance carriers will cover lost, damaged or stolen property between 50-70 percent of the total coverage on an insured home’s structure.
With this in mind, people with fine art collections, antiques, designer clothing or other high-value property would be wise to consider a rider or separate valuable articles policy to avoid a potential coverage gap.
