Replacement Cost covers the full amount to replace any lost, stolen, or damaged items with new items.
Actual Cash Value only covers the depreciated value of an item at the time it was lost, stolen, or damaged. The depreciated value is determined by the wear and tear on the item and the item’s age.
That depends on your policy terms, your claims history, how long you have been a Kane County Mutual customer and state regulations.
Even if you are not at fault, you will still need to pay your deductible.
You may still want to file a claim even if the damage costs are less than your deductible. Repairs may cost more than you estimate or additional damage may be found later.
In the event of property theft, vandalism or an accident, we recommended that you file a police report.
That depends on what coverages are included in your policy, the cause of damage, and what property was damaged.
