Why roof insurance claims cannot be accepted
There's a lot of reasons roof insurance claims can be denied.
There are many reasons that your claim could be denied.
Not meeting your deductible:
Before you file an insurance claim, it is important to know what your policy covers. The law of property insurance is complex.
Insufficient coverage:
A claim for damage beyond your coverage limit may not be denied. But, this number will limit the amount that you can receive and it won't usually exceed $50,000.
It is very simple to understand what the input means for policy limits and insurance carriers. However, it could be interesting to add more context.
Non-Covered Issues:
Home insurance can be broken into several policies that cover a particular number of "named dangers" (e.g., wind, hail, and fire).
Your roof might be too old.
Roof insurance policies are denied if a roof's age is greater than 15-20 years. A licensed roofer should inspect your roof and determine if there is a valid claim.
Someone else is liable:
Homeowners' insurance does not cover damage caused by negligence or intentional acts of service professionals.
