WHAT DOES YOUR TORNADO DAMAGE INSURANCE COVER?

In Florida, submitting a tornado damage claim to your insurance agent could be tricky. The way many policies are written leaves room for questions on the part of the homeowner.

What is and isn’t included? Will my damages fall under a tornado damage or windstorm damage category? How can I prevent some damages? What if a tornado causes a tree to damage my roof? Sentry offers a free inspection and policy review, so you’ll know what’s covered.

Most homeowners’ insurance policies have an anti-concurrent causation clause in them. An anti-concurrent causation clause usually reads similar to this: “We do not insure for such loss regardless of a) the cause of the excluded event; or b) other causes of the loss; or c) whether other causes acted concurrently or in any sequence with the excluded event to produce the loss.”

This means that your home could be destroyed by a tornado, but only some of it may be covered. Worst-case scenario, you could be left with no coverage for the damages. Sentry can work with you and your insurance company to ensure that you get fair and full payment on your tornado damage claim.
