An HO-3 policy is considered an "all risk" policy, meaning a loss is covered unless it is specifically excluded. Review the "exclusions" portion of your policy to see what type of losses are excluded. An HO-3 policy affords an insured more protection than any other policy. I would recommend purchasing the HO-3 policy if you are in the market for insurance.
Loss assessment coverage on an HO-3 policy typically provides coverage for the insured's share of damages or costs incurred by the homeowners association for losses to common areas of the property that are not covered by the association's insurance policy. These losses are usually due to perils such as fire, vandalism, or theft.
The Broad form is the "HO3" also known as the "HOC" and sometimes referred to as "All Risk Coverage. It's the priciest Homeowners policy available but also offers the broadest coverage, hence the name "Broad Form". The major difference in the Broad form (HO3) from the Basic Form (HO1) and the Extended Coverage policy (Form HO2) is the peril language appoach. The HO3 is considered to use an "Exclusive" approach where forms 1 and 2 use the "Inclusive" language approach to covered and non-covered perils.
An HO8 is a named peril policy, meaning you are only insured for the perils listed in the policy. An HO3 is an "all risk" policy, which means you are covered for all losses unless the peril is specifically excluded under the policy. As you can see the HO8 is a lot more restrictive. The premium may be cheaper but it offers less coverage.
