Insurance contracts taken out by any natural person outside their professional activity and covering fire damage or any other damage to property used as a dwelling or placed in premises used as a dwelling located in France, as well as damage to the bodies of land motor vehicles, entitle the insured party to cover damage resulting from technological disasters affecting the property covered by these contracts.
This cover also applies to policies taken out by or on behalf of co-ownership syndicates, and covering damage to the common parts of co-owned residential buildings, as well as to policies taken out by the bodies referred to in article L. 411-2 du code de la construction et de l’habitation and guaranteeing damage to residential buildings owned by them.
This guarantee covers full compensation for damage, up to the limit, for movable property, of the declared values or sums insured under the contract.
Unless there are more favourable stipulations, compensation resulting from this cover must be awarded to the insureds within three months of the date of submission of the estimate of the damaged property or the losses suffered or the date of publication, where this is later, of the administrative decision provided for in article L. 128-1.
