Questions for your insurance agent:
We feel that consumer expectations on their policies can be better defined by having reasonable information at the time they purchased a policy. The following are suggested questions you may like to know in advance:
In regards to the Jewelry Appraisal Report:
- What kind of appraisal report would your insurance company need?
- How important it is to have a full certified appraisal report, with a full description of items?
- Considering the inflation rate and the changes in the jewelry market conditions, how often should I have this appraisal report updated?
In regards to your policy:
- What items should I have appraised? Your homeowner's insurance policy may offer a general and limited protection for your jewelry. Please read these restrictions in your policy.
- What kind of coverage do I have for jewelry valued under $300.00, $500.00, etc.
- If I only appraise and buy coverage for the most expensive jewelry in a collection, what would happen if the other items are lost or stolen? How do I prove ownership, description, quality and values for those lower price articles? What kind of limiting condition my policy will have for these articles?
- What is the difference between schedule and unscheduled coverage?
- Is there a deductible? If so, how much? How does it work in case of a claim? Do I have the option to increase the deductible to reduce the premium cost?
- Is my policy all-risk? (Per loss, damage, mysterious disappearance, negligence or carelessness etc.)?
- Is the item covered if lost (total or partial lost), stolen or damaged while in the possession of someone else?
- Are there any geographical limitations to my coverage?
- What exactly does it mean to have replacement value on my jewelry. Am I limited to the value listed at the appraisal report?
In case of a loss...
- If there is a loss, do I have a choice of a full cash-out or will I have to accept less?
- Can I go to whomever I wish for the replacement of my jewelry? If not, why not?
- Can I expect to replace the lost jewelry with same quality and from the same manufacturer or jewelry company? How is trademarked jewelry replaced?
- If a loss has been replaced through an insurance company source, will I be allowed to verify proper replacement of quality and value by an independent firm or accredited appraiser?
- What procedure will be followed to replace a family heirloom, one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, an antique or custom made jewelry?
- What proof, documentation is needed by your adjustor to document a claim?
