What's Really Covered with Home Insurance?

When it comes to insurance, many people have it, but few people understand their coverage. In particular, home insurance seems to be the most mind-boggling type of insurance. Rightly so. The coverage for home insurance can vary drastically from state to state and from provider to provider. The following are the biggies when it comes to understanding home insurance.

Dwelling Coverage: The Physical Structure  
Your home insurance policy covers the physical structure of your business. You pay to protect your home from severe weather, accidents and other potential losses that can result in a financial loss for you. One main consideration to bear in mind when it comes to home insurance is your dwelling coverage, which likely covers the cost of rebuilding your home and can vary on any given day.  

Coverage for Personal Property  
Another component of your home insurance is financial protection for your personal belongings. Your furniture, electronics and other items in your home are likely covered by your insurance company. After a loss, your insurance company will likely reimburse you for the items you lost.  

It's important to speak with a licensed insurance agent about how they reimburse you for your personal items. For instance, you should ask whether or not the company gives you what you paid minus depreciation or if they give you fair market value for your belongings.  

Liability Coverage  
In addition to your physical structure and personal belongings, you also have liability protection. Liability protection is great when someone visiting you has an accident at your home. Since you could possibly be held financially responsible for their medical bills and for making them whole financially, liability coverage will help you cover the cost of being sued.  

Your Deductible  
Your home insurance requires that you pay a deductible in order to take advantage of all of the benefits the policy offers. The deductible you pay is considered your financial investment, and it is money you pay beyond your monthly premiums.  

When it comes to decreasing the cost of your home insurance, you can choose a higher deductible. The more you pay for your deductible, the lower your premium payments will be each month.  

In order to choose the best home insurance, it's important that you understand the basics. With a clearer picture of the coverage options available for your insurance, you can make a better choice about what insurance is right for your family.  

We’ll help you review the details of your policy. Call Shankland Insurance at 641-228-7436 for more information on Charles City home insurance.
