How to determine if your garage door is covered in your insurance
Check your insurance policy first before filing a claim. Garage doors are generally covered by homeowner’s insurance policies. It is just a matter of checking what exactly the coverage is.
If you or someone in your family damaged the garage door, your insurance should cover it. When a third party is at fault, such as when your neighbor accidentally damages your garage, then the cost of repair or replacement will be covered by their auto insurance policy.
It is important to know that if your property is damaged, stolen, or vandalized, your homeowner insurance will cover it.
Natural disasters are excluded from the coverage of your garage door insurance. You should also check whether your detached garage door is covered if it is attached to your house.
What to do when filing a claim
You may find that filing a claim is difficult or easy, depending on the kind of insurance that you have.
It is certain that you will have to submit documentation to support your claim. Documentation requirements may vary depending on the scenario.
For claims related to crimes such as vandalism or arson, a police report will usually be required. In the event that your garage door has been hit by an accident, this can also apply. You may be required to provide receipts for repairs made by your insurance company, or your insurance company may send an adjuster to assess the damage.
Here are some things to consider
