I'm not as sure as you are about that. Homeowners policies have some differences, and some insurance companies handle claims differently. If the countertop was damaged by a hot appliance, that could be considered accidental damage to the house, which may be covered. I think spilling red wine on a carpet is an example of accidental damage that is sometimes covered by insurance. Or, accidentally allowing the sink to overflow or leaving the oven on and causing smoke damage. Or, driving the car through the garage wall. These accidents are often covered by insurance.

OP, it doesn't hurt to ask your insurance company if they will cover the damage. New countertops will cost thousands of dollars, and you may not be able to color match a single slab.
