Conclusion It needs to be emphasized that these revisions are fairly new and it is unlikely that all insurers will adopt them immediately. It is, therefore, important to read the policy when a claim occurs and to be especially mindful of the edition date of the policy. Regardless of when the various states adopt the revisions, the forms will have an edition date of October 2012 (e.g., CP 00 10 10 12). ____________________ 1Specified Causes of Loss include: fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm or hail, smoke, aircraft or vehicles, riot, vandalism, leakage from fire extinguishing equipment, sinkhole collapse, volcanic action, falling objects, weight of snow, ice or sleet, and water damage.
