Special perils

Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-003738

A type of property insurance coverage that protects against all causes of loss unless specifically excluded in the policy wording. This contrasts with named perils coverage, which only covers losses explicitly listed. Policies written on a special perils basis often provide broader protection for the insured.
