Hi Millsydt, you may need to resubmit your query since it doesn't contain a problem. Have you suffered any damage with the PC? have you been denied a claim by Churchill Insurance? Sorry, but there isn't enough information in this post to offer any suggestions.

OP if you have a standard homeowners or renters policy your pc would be covered for CERTAIN PERILS only...please go into more details re: what you question is.

What policy are we talking about Mills, is it your parents homeowners? If so it would be a stretch to figure out an applicable peril to cover it under...I would certainly turn in the claim...Could be there is a rider or endorcment on the policy, or do you have a specific policy for the laptop? I don't know what you mean by

churchill insurance

Is this maybe the agency? Also need your age and state, how old was the laptop did you purchase any sort of warranty or coverage when/where you bought the lap top?

Was your PC in your car when you had an accident?

Did you drop it?

Did the dog eat it?

How was it "accidentally" damaged?

Do you have a "fire" policy or a true "homeowners" policy, or a "renters" policy?

Hi Mill, why would you lie to the insurance company about the cause of the damage? The insurance company would definitely investigate into the matter before they entertain the claim. And, if they find out the lie they would definitely deny the claim

What is the actual reason of the damage? your son damaged it or you damaged it in an accident? or is it something else?

Mill, honesty is always the best policy, especially when dealing with insurance claims. You may need to read the policy paper to know about the coverage available to you.

Mill, please go through your policy document once more, definitely it would cover the belongings in the household premises as well with the coverage extended to away from home.

Please, turn the claim to the insurer and don't lie about the cause. Hope everything would go just fine.

Hi Millsydt

Whatever be the case, do not lie to your insurance company about how your laptop got damaged because they will find out if you are lying. Now about whether your contents insurance will cover or not, this you really need to find out from your insurance policy documents.

Sometimes insurance companies do cover laptops under your general contents insurance. Some companies do make you specify anything you own over a specific value. There are again policies that do not cover accidental damages or even if they do they may charge extra. The best way would be to find out from your policy docs. Take a look and then if you till have a question do ask our experts.
