Most Policies Cover Losses Caused by:
Fire and lightning
Sudden and accidental damage by smoke
Explosion
Theft
Vandalism and malicious mischief
Riot and civil commotion
Aircraft and vehicles

Sudden and accidental water damage

Most Policies Do Not Cover Losses Caused by:
Flooding
Earthquakes
Termites, insects, rats, or mice
Freezing pipes while your house is unoccupied (unless you turned off the water or heated the building)
