Frequently Asked Questions
Suncorp Insurance covers loss or damage to your home and/or contents caused by storms, which includes cyclones. The cover also extends to cover loss or damage caused by storm surge if it occurs at the same time as other insured damage at your insured address to your home and/or contents caused by storms, which includes cyclones. However there are also a number of exclusions and other conditions that attach to this cover. Please read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for full details.
Your Suncorp policy provides you with up to $20 million legal liability cover.
Legal liability covers your liability to pay compensation for death or bodily injury to other people or loss or damage to their property resulting from an incident, which happens in connection with you owning or living in the home at the insured address. For instance, if a person was to come onto your property and injure themselves by tripping whilst climbing the stairs, the Home legal liability component of your policy would respond if you were found legally liable for the injury sustained and damages were sought from you.*
Legal liability on contents also covers your liability to pay compensation for an incident, which causes death or bodily injury to other people anywhere in Australia or New Zealand. So if you were playing golf at your local golf club and your ball was to strike another player causing injury, the contents legal liability component of your policy would respond if you were found legally liable for the injury sustained and damages were sought from you*.
* This example assumes your claim was not otherwise excluded by your policy.
If you’re a current Suncorp Landlord Insurance customer you may be covered for loss of rent if the tenant defaults. You must have taken all reasonable steps legally available to you to remedy non-payment and/or evict the tenant (if possible).
Limits and exclusions apply, so please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement.
All applicable excesses will still apply to any claim for loss of rent.
*Actions or movements of the sea and storm surge are not covered (unless the storm surge damage occurs at the same time as damage caused by storm). We don't cover retaining walls or flood damage to wharves, jetties, pontoons, other exclusions apply.
