The single biggest
investment you may make in life is your home. Are you sure you've
protected your investment? Let us review your homeowner's policy
with you and make sure there are no gaps in coverage.
Basic Coverages Included
in Homeowner's Policies:
Property Damage Coverage
"Property Damage" coverage is designed to help pay for damage to
your home and personal property.
"Other
Structures" coverage will help protect your detached garage, tool
shed, and other unattached structures. Generally, the coverage is
10% of the amount for which your home is insured.
"Personal Property" coverage helps pay for a loss of your personal
possessions, such as clothing, furniture, TV, stereo and other
unattached personal items. You may want to review this coverage with
us, to make sure you are adequately protected in this area.
Personal Property Floater
A
homeowner's insurance policy normally provides limited coverage for
collectibles, jewelry, furs, etc. It may be necessary to insure your
valuables with a Personal Property Floater. A Personal Property
Floater provides coverage that is broader than the coverage in your
standard homeowners insurance policy.
Personal Liability Coverage
Your
homeowners policy provides Personal Liability coverage to help
protect you against a non-auto claim in which you were at fault.
Liability coverage in your policy covers both the cost of defending
you and damages the court orders you must pay. Liability insurance
does not have a deductible that you must meet before the insurer
begins to pay losses. We can review your current limits of coverage,
and help make sure you have enough protection in this area.
Medical Payments Coverage
Medical
Payments coverage is designed to pay for an injury to someone
OUTSIDE your family. It can often help settle "small" injuries
outside of court before they become BIG claims in court. This is not
medical coverage for your and your family.
Additional Living Expenses
Where
will you live if your home is badly damaged?
If move
into a hotel or apartment for awhile because of damage caused by a
covered loss, your homeowners policy will normally cover the stay,
subject to policy limits. |
