Trustworthy Bank Thought They Were Fully Insured... The Policy Exclusion Proved Otherwise.

Equipment Breakdown Insurance policyholders never realize how specific policy language can affect their policies — until they learn how it can affect a claim. My Policy Advocate™ helps you understand your coverage before you need it.

Quality Manufacturing’s Surge Denial*

A July storm surge fried a $400,000 injection-molding machine at Quality Manufacturing. The claim was denied because the insurer’s technician found no surge protection devices installed—which were required per policy guidelines.

Potential Denial (The Exclusion):

Equipment breakdown policies often require the active installation and maintenance of protective devices (like surge protectors); failure to comply can invalidate claims.

Risk Identified by My Policy Advocate:

Preventive maintenance and protection device requirement.

Policy Language:

“The Insured shall install and maintain surge protection devices; failure may result in denial.”

Discovery by Clara, our Ai Assistant:

Clara highlights the policy requirements for protective device installation and maintenance, which can be easily overlooked.
