Accidental Damage

Accidental damage is usually an optional extra to your standard policy. It aims to cover any accidental damage that may occur outside of the normal perils of fire, storm, flood, etc. Typical claims that are made under accidental damage are spillages of liquids onto floors damaging carpets or wooden floors, cracked floor tiles or sanitary ware due to a heavy object falling and other one off incidents not specifically covered elsewhere. However it does normally exclude damage due to wear and tear, damage caused by vermin or pets or anything that is damaged as result of works or cleaning been carried out on the property. For a claim to be covered under this peril the damage must be as result of a one-off incident which was accidental in nature.
