MIAMI - Floridant -- Can Homeowners Insurance Drop You After a Claim?

Homeowners insurance is critical for protecting your property, belongings, and personal liabilities. Many homeowners, however, are concerned that if they file a claim, their insurance may be canceled or not renewed. You can preserve coverage and steer clear of possible problems by being aware of how insurers assess claims and what actions you can take.

When your insurer cancels your insurance before it expires, this is known as cancellation. This can typically occur as a result of fraud, nonpayment, or application misrepresentation.

Non-Renewal: This indicates that your insurance company has made the decision not to extend your coverage once it expires. Multiple claims, a higher risk profile, or property issues that render the house uninsurable are some of the causes of this.

What Happens When Your Policy is Cancelled?

In the event the insurance company cancels your coverage or declines renewal, then you are left without protection. This means that all repairs and replacements will be completely up to you. Also, if you have mortgage lender, they might purchase force-placed insurance, which is usually much more expensive and offers less coverage than standard homeowner's insurance.

Take control of your homeowners insurance coverage and stay informed, maintain your property, and explore your options to ensure you're always protected.
