Named Peril

coverage only for perils named in the policy

Why named peril matters

Named Peril can change how a quote, declaration page, or claim payment should be read. In practical terms, it is about coverage only for perils named in the policy.

What to compare

  • Where does this appear in the policy or declarations page?
  • Is it included, excluded, or added by endorsement?
  • Does a separate limit or deductible apply?
  • Could state or carrier wording change the answer?
