What Does Home Insurance Cover?

A basic home insurance policy covers four main areas:

Liability

Personal general liability under home insurance covers accidents of bodily injury and property damage someone else may suffer. For example, if a visitor trips and falls in your home, liability insurance can help pay for their medical bills. It can also protect you in case of a lawsuit regarding these types of accidents. Liability can also extend to cover damage and injuries caused by your children or pets. If your pet bites someone, or if your child accidentally breaks someone’s window with a baseball, liability insurance can help pay for the related expenses.

Dwelling

Dwelling coverage provides compensation for damages to the physical home and its attached structures. It covers against a list of perils, including fire, wind, hail, lightning, smoke, explosions, falling objects, theft and vandalism. This does not generally cover things such as fences and outdoor signs.

Personal Belongings

Personal belongings coverage provides compensation if your personal items are lost or damaged due to many of the same perils as covered by dwelling insurance. There are also optional policy floaters available to cover your expensive items such as jewelry, furs, art and electronics.

Additional Living Expenses

Additional living expense coverage helps cover costs related to temporarily moving if your home is rendered uninhabitable by a disaster. If a hurricane sweeps in and destroys your home, for example, this coverage can help with costs such as food and temporary shelter

How Much Home Insurance Do I Need?

It is generally recommended that you carry enough home insurance to cover the total replacement cost value of your home. This is how much it would cost to completely rebuild your hone after a disaster, including building and material costs.

Every home is different, however. So be sure to speak with your insurance agent to discuss the amount of coverage right for your home.
