What is a Deductible?
A deductible is the part of a covered loss that you have agreed to pay with your own money. If you file a claim against your insurance, you will pay only the amount of the deductible. JSF will pay the rest - up to your coverage limit. When choosing a deductible, you must decide how much you would be willing to pay out-of-pocket if you ever had to file a claim. Typically, higher deductibles mean lower premiums.
