在工作实践中,有很多朋友询问有关all perils和broad form的区别。大家请看下面一段文字:
Between the two forms of association insurance coverage, the differences are great.
All risk coverage typically covers your association from all perils. There are exclusions, such as earthquakes, acts of war, or terrorism, but the policy covers most events that can befall your property. In fact, the standard all risks policy spells out coverage exclusions rather than listing every covered event. If it’s not excluded, it’s covered.
Broad form coverage covers losses resulting from a wide variety of events, some listed on policy endorsements or in policy language. Typical broad form coverage includes damage from fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm or hail, smoke, aircraft or vehicles, riot or civil commotion, vandalism, sprinkler leakage, sinkhole collapse, or volcanic action, plus falling objects, ice, sleet or snow weight, and accidental water damage.
What’s the difference? Broad form insures only those perils listed. All risk insures all those perils not excluded. All risk insurance coverage is often called “special” form. In general, an all risk policy offers associations much more coverage than a broad form policy.
简单来说,all perils保的是法律规定可以不保的内容之外,全保。当然法律规定可以不保的,如地震、战争等(当然如果你想要地震或战争险,你也还是可以花钱买到这种的coverage的)。
Broad form保的只是列明在保单中的一些险(你必须认真查看保单,不同公司可能会有所不同),如火灾、闪电、爆炸、风暴、冰雹、烟雾、飞行器及车辆、暴乱等,当然肯定不保地震及战争等。
哪种更好,更适合你?要看你的具体情况,我有的客户就很明确地告诉我,我在五万以下的损失都无所谓,自己承担算了,我就保一下自然灾害、水火等大的危险,所以,这样的客户选择broad form基本上没问题。如果你承受不了一般的损失,你就有必要选择all perils.
现在市面上有些公司没有all perils,只有broad form,当然这样公司的价格肯定是会便宜一些的。
