Everything you need to know about Underinsurance

The term underinsurance refers to the situation that occurs when an insured object has a value greater than the insured amount, in simple words, if a claim occurs, the compensation to be received will be less than the value of the insured objective.

Why does underinsurance occur?

This happens when the property covered by the insurance is incorrectly valued and a lower premium has been paid than that which should have been paid if the property had been correctly valued.

The underinsurance situation does not usually arise when insuring motor vehicles, that is, cars or motorcycles, since the insurer itself is the one that values ​​the asset that is the subject of the insurance.

Underinsurance usually occurs when home insurance is taken out, since in most cases the value of the property owned at home is not known exactly. Likewise, it also usually occurs when goods are acquired that have not been included in the insurance contracted.

Underinsurance vs Overinsurance

We already know that underinsurance is when a good is insured below the real value, but on the other hand there is the overinsurance that refers to insuring above the real value of the good. In the event that there is a claim, the insurer must compensate for all the damage caused, however, overinsurance has the problem that the policyholder will be paying a higher premium than he should.

As a conclusion, we recommend that you carry out a good inventory and review it annually in case of changes, since if a high-value good enters your home you must report it to avoid an undersurprise.

It is for the above, that contracting insurance becomes necessary and of great importance, but what concepts should we have clear before contracting any insurance? Here we explain it in a simple way:

What is an Insurance Premium?

It refers to the amount of money that the insured pays for the risks that he is transferring and this is usually paid in installments for a year, monthly, semi-annual, weekly or all at once.

The value of the premium will depend on factors such as the probability of an accident occurring or the frequency in which this can happen. When paying the premium, the insurance company must comply with the coverage stipulated in the insurance policy.

In the case of having contracted some deductible coverage, the insurance company will be responsible only for the amount that exceeds it. On the other hand, if the deductible is agreed as a percentage of the loss, this will be applied to the final net loss, that is, in the sum of all the disbursements and expenses incurred less I recover them.

What are coverages?

These are the risks that the insurer will assume in the event of a claim. In addition, there are different types of coverage in insurance contracting, so you should analyze and choose the ones that best suit your needs.
