Mechanical Breakdown

Mechanical Breakdown

Mechanical breakdown insurance will typically cover machinery depending on the cause of the resulting damage.

Most consumers do not realize that they may have more than one option when it comes to buying coverage to protect against mechanical breakdown. Depending on the machinery in question, there may be advantages to purchasing a warranty through the dealer and/or buying mechanical breakdown insurance through an insurance company. Mechanical breakdown insurance will normally cover any major failures that occur to your machinery depending on the original cause of the loss and the chain of events that took place during the breakdown.

Making A Mechanical Breakdown Claim

So you’ve purchased mechanical breakdown insurance and now you need to make a claim. We realize how stressful these situations can be. However, before starting repairs or filing a claim, it’s crucial that you speak with a public adjuster to make your claims experience as beneficial as possible. Making any repairs prior to allowing the insurance carrier may jeopardize your claim. Once we’ve had a chance to perform an inspection and assess the issue, we can begin the process of filling your claim with the insurance company. It is also important to gather any and all records that you may have in regard to the machinery, it’s repair history, photo or video documentation or anything else that you may have to give better insight in to the machine’s health.
