Roof Claim Answers

How do you say non-recoverable depreciation in Spanish?

Short answer. Non-recoverable depreciation is usually translated as depreciación no recuperable. It means the amount the insurer subtracts for age and wear that it will not pay back, even after you repair or replace the property, which is common on roofs covered at actual cash value.

Key claim terms in Spanish

When it shows up

Non-recoverable depreciation appears when part of the claim is paid at actual cash value, most often a roof covered by an actual cash value endorsement or a roof payment schedule. The amount is gone for good, so the homeowner pays the difference between the claim payment and the cost of the new roof.

Explicación en español

La depreciación no recuperable es la cantidad que la aseguradora resta por la edad y el desgaste del techo y que no devuelve, aunque usted reemplace el techo. Suele aparecer cuando la póliza paga el techo a valor real en efectivo. Revise la página de declaraciones de su póliza y pregunte a su agente si tiene un endoso de este tipo.

A tip

Ask your insurer whether a Spanish-speaking representative or translated documents are available, and keep copies of everything in writing.
