Under which section of a household insurance policy is cover for 'reverse damages' typically provided?

The section of a household insurance policy that typically provides cover for reverse damages is the contents section. This type of cover specifically addresses damages to personal belongings within the home that might result from incidents such as a water leak or fire, causing additional damage to the home's interior or to those belongings themselves.

Contents insurance focuses on protecting the items within the home, including furniture, electronics, and other personal items. Reverse damages can occur when these items are damaged due to an insured peril affecting the property, and they are subsequently affected as part of that damage.

The legal expenses section generally covers costs associated with legal claims or disputes and does not provide coverage for physical damage to personal items. The buildings section addresses the structure of the home and typically would not cover internal contents or reverse damages to personal belongings. Personal possessions refers to items taken outside the home, and while it covers specific items that may get lost or damaged externally, it does not encompass the reverse damages that affect items within the home due to issues with the home itself.

Thus, contents insurance is specifically designed to address this type of risk, making it the correct choice for coverage related to reverse damages.
