OUTLINE OF COVERAGE AND COMPREHENSIVE POLICY CHECKLIST
The following is an outline of coverage and comprehensive policy checklist (hereinafter "checklist") of your insurance policy and is for informational purposes only. Mississippi law prohibits this checklist from changing any of the provisions of the insurance contract which is the subject of this checklist. Any endorsement regarding changes in types of coverage, exclusions, limitations, reductions, deductibles, coinsurance, renewal provisions, cancellation provisions, surcharges, or credits is not included in this checklist, unless otherwise indicated. This checklist does not operate to expand coverage beyond the coverage provided in the policy. If there is a contradiction between this checklist and the policy, the terms of the policy govern.
You should read your policy thoroughly. You should review your insurance policy annually with your insurance producer to ensure you are adequately covered.
Reviewing this checklist together with your policy can help you gain a better understanding of your policy's actual coverages and limitations, and may even answer general questions. By addressing any questions now, you will be more prepared later in the event of a claim. A clear understanding of your policy's coverages and limitations will reduce confusion that may arise during claims settlement.
To fully understand your insurance policy, you should read all provisions contained therein. If you have questions regarding your policy, please contact your agent. Consumer assistance is available from the Mississippi Insurance Department, Division of Consumer Services, 1-800-562-2957 or www.mid.ms.gov.
