Will home insurance cover a cracked TV screen?
My daughter accidentally threw a Wii remote while playing a video game and it hit our TV. The screen is cracked. Will home insurance pay to fix or replace the TV?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“If your insurance policy includes “”open-perils”” coverage (also known as
“”all-risk”” coverage
), it may pay to fix or replace your broken TV. Under open-perils coverage, anything would be covered other than specific exclusions listed on the policy. However, it generally does not make sense to submit small claims like this on your homeowners insurance, as they may cause your insurance rates to increase over time with little benefit.
