Home Insurance Coverage Options

How does homeowners insurance work?

Insurance for your house helps cover the cost of repairing or replacing parts of it that have been damaged by certain hazards such as fire, vandalism, or storm-related damages. Most home insurance policies cover the physical structure of your house and other structures on your property, along with your personal property and liability protection. Types of perils that aren’t typically covered are earthquakes and floods. To learn more about coverage options, find a home insurance agent near you.

What does Homeowners Insurance cover?

The Structure of Your Home:

Our agents use the latest tools to help determine the coverage and policy needs of your home.

Your Personal Possessions: Most homeowners insurance policies provide coverage for your personal possessions.

Additional living expenses after a disaster: If you’re required to live away from your home for a period of time because of a covered loss, your cost of temporary living will be covered.

Liability to others:

This part of your policy covers you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage for which you are legally liable. It pays for both the cost of defending you in court and for any damages a court rules you must pay, up to the limit of liability. You should purchase enough liability insurance to protect your assets.

How much homeowners insurance coverage do I need?

Conducting a home inventory can help you determine the amount of coverage needed to protect your personal property. There may be limits on how much coverage is automatically provided for certain items such as jewelry, silverware, furs, and guns. Your agent will be able to advise you on making sure you are adequately covered and on how to obtain additional coverage if needed.

A renters insurance policy covers people who rent or lease where they live. While not legally required in Tennessee, it’s becoming increasingly common for landlords to require renters insurance as part of a tenant’s leasing agreement. While a landlord’s insurance policy covers the building, it won’t cover your personal belongings if they were damaged. Having a renters insurance policy can give you peace of mind as you’ll know that you're safeguarding your finances against the loss of personal belongings because of fire, smoke damage, vandalism, water damage, and more.

Commercial Property Insurance covers property damage as well as liability for business-related risks such as fires, explosions, burst pipes, storms, theft, and vandalism.
