Policy Limit

What Does Policy Limit Mean?

The policy limit is the maximum amount of money that an insurance company will pay out for a covered loss. It’s the cap on the financial compensation you can receive from your insurer.

 

Here are some key points about policy limits:

  • Per occurrence: Some policies have a limit per occurrence, meaning this is the maximum amount the insurer will pay for any single incident or event.
  • Aggregate limit: Other policies have an aggregate limit, which is the total amount the insurer will pay for all covered losses within a specific policy period, such as a year.
  • Per Person Limit: For liability insurance, there may be a limit per person, specifying the maximum amount the insurer will pay for bodily injury or property damage caused to any one person.
  • Per accident limit: Liability insurance may also have a limit per accident, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay for all bodily injury or property damage caused by a single accident.

 

It’s important to understand the policy limits in your insurance policies to ensure you have adequate coverage for your needs. If you’re unsure about it, you can contact your insurance agent or company for clarification.

How Does Policy Limit Work at PSIC?

At PSIC, we understand that every policyholder has unique needs. That’s why we customize each policy to fit your specific requirements. You’ll find all the details of your policy limits, including coverage amounts and any applicable deductibles, in your policy document and the associated declaration page.

 

When setting up your policy, we consider various factors to determine appropriate coverage limits. For example, the declared value of your home will help us determine the dwelling coverage limit. You can choose to increase this limit to ensure that your home is fully protected in case of a loss. Similarly, we’ll establish an initial coverage limit for your personal belongings, which you can customize to match your specific needs.

 

We also offer various options for liability and medical expense coverage. You can choose the coverage limits that best suit your needs, whether you require basic protection or more comprehensive coverage.

 

It’s important to note that our policies may have aggregate limits or per-occurrence ones. Aggregate limits apply to the total amount of coverage available over a specific period, while per-occurrence limits apply to each individual claim.

 

To ensure that you have a clear understanding of your policy limits and coverage, we recommend carefully reviewing that document. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your agent. They can provide you with additional information and help you make informed decisions about your insurance coverage.
