Insurance Terms Explained in Plain English

Understanding common insurance terms makes policies easier to review and insurance decisions easier to make.

What Does Replacement Cost Mean?

Replacement cost coverage helps pay to repair or replace property without deducting for depreciation, subject to policy terms.

Understanding Insurance Deductibles

A deductible is the amount you pay before insurance contributes to a covered claim.

Why Insurance Rates Are Rising Nationwide

Insurance rates are rising because of inflation, weather losses, repair costs, litigation trends, and reinsurance costs.

Replacement Cost vs. Actual Cash Value

Replacement cost usually pays to replace property with new property of similar kind and quality, while actual cash value subtracts depreciation.
