I recently stayed at out of town motel where my nephew was having a football tournament. I was informed by coach that he kicked rock and broke glass door in motel and mgr. of hotel claimed they had $1000 deductible for these damages and the est. would be around $500. There were no adults present when the damage occured but two other children claimed my nephew did the damage. Would my homeowners cover this damage? thanks.

Someones might. Does your nephew live with you? Whomever he lives with do they have either a homeowners or renters policy? How old is the boy? Did he do it on purpose, like in anger or was it an accident? What state are you in?

Agreed, some more information is required to get a better hold of the situation. Kindly answer to the questions Lori has asked.

Why should you pay for the damages? Are you the legal guardian of the child? If so, I guess, only in that case the claim could be filed under your homeowners policy.

OP posted this via PM to me rather than in the thread:


He does live with me and I do have a homeowner's policy on my home. I live in KY and he is 8 yrs. old and did it on accident.

Then yes, most definately file it with your homeowners insurance and this should be covered... :)
