[D042]

difference in conditions insurance (DIC)

A property policy insuring "all risks" of physical loss or damage, excluding fire and extended coverage perils. Any cause of loss that would result in the property being left in a condition different from what it was prior to the occurrence of the loss event, except for those causes of loss specifically excluded. Such unnamed losses would include collapse, water damage, theft and (optionally) flood and earthquake. Often, this coverage is provided on an inland marine basis.
