Many homeowners have a gap in their insurance coverage that leaves them financially exposed, often without realizing it, according to experts cited by CNBC.
The coverage gap means that in the event of a loss, some homeowners could find that their policy does not fully cover the cost of rebuilding or replacing their property and belongings.
Experts pointed to this lack of awareness as a significant risk factor, noting that many consumers are unaware of the extent of their exposure until they need to file a claim.
The report did not specify the size of the typical coverage gap or name the experts cited, but it underscores a broader concern among insurance professionals about underinsurance among homeowners.
