More About Home Insurance Coverage
When purchasing homeowners insurance, it’s important to take the time to understand what is covered and what isn’t. Generally speaking, standard policies will cover damage resulting from fires, hail storms, lightning strikes, and explosions.
Additionally, most policies provide personal property coverage which means that if your possessions are stolen or damaged by a covered event (such as a fire), the policy will reimburse you for those losses. Homeowner’s insurance aims to protect you from potential financial losses, so it’s important to select coverage limits based on the value of your home and possessions.
Your policy should also include liability protection which will provide coverage for medical expenses in the event that someone is injured on your property. This type of coverage may also offer assistance with legal fees if you are sued and found responsible for another person’s injury or damage to their property.
Finally, some policies may offer additional forms of coverage such as living expense reimbursement and identity theft protection. Living expense reimbursement will help cover costs associated with temporarily moving out of your home due to a covered event.
