Why Is Homeowner’s Insurance Important?

Homeowner’s insurance is put in place to protect the homeowner’s from the vulnerability caused by fire, damage, and burglaries to their home. Without homeowner’s insurance, any damage or loss to your home or property will be your own responsibility. This can put the average family in a very vulnerable position financially. Homeowners’ insurance is there to kick in to cover repairs and replacements in the event of damage and loss. 

What Is Covered By Homeowner’s Insurance?

Homeowner’s insurance covers a few different things. Policies can be customized to meet your particular needs as well. In general homeowner’s insurance will cover the following areas:

Damage or Loss of Home- If your home is damaged or completely lost due to fire or natural disaster the policy will cover the repair or replacement of your home and belongings. You should evaluate your coverage amounts closely to make sure they are adequate for your home and belongings. Loss due to burglaries is also covered under this. 

Liability- Liability coverage will cover any expenses you might be held liable for if someone is injured on your property. The expenses incurred because of an injury can get very expensive. These expenses can leave you financially vulnerable without insurance coverage. 

A Note On Flood Insurance

It is important to note that most homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover flood damage. This is usually an added policy.
