What can 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 can provide coverage for your personal possessions.
Additional living expenses after a disaster. If you’re required to live away from home when a covered loss makes your home uninhabitable, your temporary increased cost of living may be covered.
Liability to others. This part of your policy can provide coverage for you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage for which you are legally liable. It may pay 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 personal property coverage do I need?
To determine the coverage needed to protect your personal property, you’ll need to conduct a home inventory. This is a detailed list of everything you own and information related to the cost to replace these items if they were stolen or destroyed by a disaster such as a fire.
