Get insurance coverage for a number of expenses, from medical care for someone who got injured on your property to repairs if a windy storm or fire damages it.
Basic homeowners policies cover damage to the house caused by fire, vandalism, hurricane, lightning, or other specifically covered events. Homeowners policies also cover loss or damage of personal property due to theft or other covered events. Expensive collections of jewelry or furs might need additional rider policy coverage. Losing possessions can be a shock if you never considered that possibility when opting against homeowners insurance. Policies also cover liability up to certain limits, protecting the insured in case someone injures himself on the property. They also pay for costs if someone sues the homeowner. Some people increase the amount of liability insurance they have with umbrella or extension coverage.
