Is my fire insurance claim covered by my homeowners insurance policy?

In North Dakota, whether or not your fire insurance claim is covered by your homeowners insurance policy depends on the coverage included in your policy. Generally, most home insurance policies will provide coverage for damage caused by a fire. However, the amount of coverage and the types of coverage may vary. For example, some policies may provide coverage only for the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged property while others may provide additional coverage for lost rental income, moving and storage expenses, and other costs associated with putting your life back together after a fire. It is important to review your policy carefully, in order to determine the extent of coverage available for fire damage. It is also advised that you contact your insurance company for clarification on your particular policy. The North Dakota Department of Insurance provides resources if you have questions about your fire insurance claim, or if you need assistance in filing a claim. Additionally, you can visit the Department’s website for information on how to file a complaint or dispute a claim if you believe the coverage you received was inadequate. In the event that your homeowners insurance policy does not provide sufficient coverage for your claim, you may be eligible for financial assistance through North Dakota’s Fire Insurance Claims Law. The Fire Insurance Claims Law is a state-run program that provides additional coverage for losses related to fire damage. To find out if you are eligible for assistance through this program, contact the North Dakota Department of Insurance.
