- Samsung Fire raised daily temporary-living coverage for fire and collapse cases to KRW 250,000.
- The expanded policy also covers temporary living expenses after certain water leaks and adds protection against sprinkler damage.
- The next Samsung Fire report is scheduled for November 12, 2026.
Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance expanded its Direct Home Fire Insurance coverage on October 16, 2026, adding protection for sprinkler leaks and certain water-related incidents. The changes extend support beyond direct property damage to expenses that can arise when policyholders must leave their homes.
According to The Asia Business Daily, daily temporary-living coverage for fire, collapse and similar events increased from KRW 100,000 to a maximum of KRW 250,000. The insurer also introduced coverage for temporary accommodation after leaks from water-supply or drainage systems, with insured amounts of up to KRW 100,000 for that expense.
Coverage Broadens Beyond Property Damage
The revised policy adds protection for damage caused by sprinkler leaks affecting buildings and household belongings. For customers, the practical change is a broader response to the disruption caused by an accident, rather than coverage limited to repairing the home itself.
The announcement gives Samsung Fire another product-development angle as it addresses both physical damage and the short-term housing costs that can follow an incident. It does not, by itself, establish the effect on premiums, claims frequency or earnings.
