Equipment Breakdown Insurance print  |  close window  
 
Most standard property insurance policies do not protect you from equipment failure due to an accident or catastrophe such as fire, flood, wind, quake or theft. Equipment Breakdown Insurance would cover loss of income due to the breakdown of "covered equipment", the replacement value of covered equipment and spoilage caused by breakdown. A good example is a random electrical surge that would cause the disruption of business or the destruction of a company's computer system.
