We recently had one of our water pipes brake and when I arrived home i noticed half of our house was under water. My camera was on the floor in my room and is now broken. Is there any way that my insurance company can help me with that?

I hope so cause I have a lot of expensive stuff in my house.
Yes, it should. As far as I know, anything in the house that is damaged by the accident is covered. Just like if something gets stolen it’s covered. You should talk to your insurance company though.
Contents inurance would cover this.
Yes, homeowners frequently covers damage to contents, for named perils.
Water damage to contents from a burst pipe, usually isn’t one of them, but as you’ll be filing a claim anyway, include all the items damaged with your claim.
