What is Deductible Buy-Back?

It’s supplemental follow-form buy-back coverage for commercial property owners with high wind, hail, or named storm deductible risk.

How Does It Work?

Imagine the primary wind/hail deductible is $1M, for example

Commercial client chooses to retain $100K out-of-pocket (deductible)

A covered storm loss occurs

The primary policy adjusts the loss

Deductible Buy-Back policy reimburses $900K of deductible

Client only pays $100K out-of-pocket

Customer Story

Chester Inc. owns a multi-use 12-story building in downtown Chicago, the 
“Windy City.”

A storm broke windows and tore holes in the roof, causing $1M in damages and triggering the $500K deductible on the primary policy.

Luckily, Chester Inc. had purchased a Deductible Buy-Back policy to bring their 
out-of-pocket exposure down to $25K.

Chester Inc. paid the $25K to get the repairs started and their Deductible Buy-Back policy picked up the $475K difference.
