What happens if some of the damage is caused by a fire and some of the damage is caused by another event?

In Pennsylvania, when it comes to fire insurance claims, it depends on the type of coverage you have in your policy. If you have a policy that covers both fire and other causes of damage, then the insurer will cover both fire and non-fire damage. The amount of coverage you receive will depend on the limits of your policy and the type of damage incurred. However, if you have a policy that only covers fire damage, then the insurer will only cover damage caused by fire. This means that any damage caused by another event won’t be covered. For example, if a fire occurs and damages your home, and then later a flood damages the same home, the insurer will only cover the damage caused by the fire. It is important to understand the specifics of your policy before filing a claim as the outcome of the claim may be determined by the type of coverage you have in place. This is why it is important to speak with your insurance provider to ensure you have the right coverage for all potential scenarios.
