    Hey sorry I didn't know where the right place to put this would be so I decided to go here because of the word "aftermarket" go me.

    anyway, does anyone know of any good 3rd party accidental damage protection plan vendors?

    thanks

    If your laptop manufacturer doesn't have an accidental damage policy that you can sign for, and you havent bought the notebook yet, your best bet is probably to find another notebook manufacturer that will cover accidental damage. Im sorry to say, but you probably wont have much luck, if any luck, trying to find a 3rd party vendor to cover your notebook for accidental damages.

    May I ask what was wrong with Lithus' answer? He told you that any insurance company will cover your laptop for accidental damage.

    So just how you can insure your life, car, home etc with insurance companies, you can insure other valuables like jewelry, TVs and computers .

    So if you have homeowner's insurance, contact them and add your laptop to it. Or contact insurance companies and ask them about insuring computers.
