Waterlogged Car Damage: Is It Covered By Insurance?
Coverage through third-party insurance is not comprehensive enough while it is necessary to have full protection against such incidence. Nevertheless they are broad policies that only cover one up to certain extents. When water floods into a car it can cause damage to its engine, electrical systems and inside thus resulting into costly repairs for such damage.
That is flood related losses are covered comprehensively but then the value of your car reduces based on its age where plastics and rubbers depreciate by fifty percent (50%). But these policies may not cover all types of flooding Damage especially those caused deliberately by drivers themselves. In case you attempt turning on such a vehicle after complete submersion and encounter lock-up due to hydrostatic pressure you may be denied recovery for any damages incurred following an accident as such. Therefore, if you do find yourself in this predicament where the car will not move, instead of turning on your auto call a tow truck.
