A deductible is generally the portion of a covered loss you are responsible for before the insurer pays the remaining eligible amount, subject to the policy terms.
Policy limits define how much coverage may be available for a particular protection. Higher limits can be important when the financial exposure is larger.
Every policy has conditions and exclusions. Understanding them is just as important as understanding the headline coverage, especially before a loss happens.
Insurance works best when the information behind it is current. A short annual review can help you identify changes worth discussing with your broker.
