Real Claims. Actual Dollars.

The five claims filed most often by renters over 65

Each scenario below is drawn from common claim patterns. The dollar figures reflect typical settlement amounts for the described losses.

01

Water Heater Failure

Margaret's water heater burst at 2 a.m., soaking her bedroom carpet, her cedar chest of linens, and the lift chair she'd saved three months to buy.

Shield covered the lift chair, linens, and flooring damage. $6,200 covered.

02

Package Theft

Robert's hearing aids — ordered through Medicare and delivered to his managed apartment lobby — were taken from the mail table before he got downstairs.

Shield covered full replacement value of the hearing aids. $3,850 covered.

03

Kitchen Fire

A grease fire on Dorothy's stovetop spread to the cabinet above. The kitchen was unusable for eleven days; her signed Audubon prints on the adjacent wall were destroyed by smoke.

Shield covered the prints, temporary housing, and kitchen contents. $14,700 covered.

04

Visitor Injury

Helen's granddaughter tripped on the threshold rug in her condo, fracturing her wrist. The family faced a medical bill and a potential liability claim.

Shield's liability coverage handled both the medical bills and legal costs. $22,400 covered.

05

Pipe Burst

A frozen pipe in the unit above James's senior community apartment released in the night, flooding his closet and destroying the wool overcoats, suits, and dress shoes he'd kept since retirement.

Shield covered the full wardrobe replacement at current retail value. $8,100 covered.

Five different days. Five different losses. One policy that covered all of them. Starting at $15/month.
