Reviewing your sub-limits can help provide the correct coverage and give you an accurate coverage amount when filing a claim.  A personal articles floater policy (PAF), which can insure your personal property against additional types of loss, is another alternative you have.  You can speak with our agents if you have any questions about what your current policy covers or what could be added to it.

For instance, the PAF will cover your belongings wherever they are in the world and might even provide coverage for a diamond that comes loose and falls out of its setting, which is undoubtedly not covered by a standard homeowner's policy.
