Understanding the Basics of Homeowner Insurance Coverage
Homeowner insurance offers a range of benefits and features, with coverage divided into two main sections. These sections are designed to protect you from specific perils outlined in your policy.
Section I: Property Coverage
A. Dwelling: Protects your home and any attached structures.
B. Other Structures: Covers structures on your property that aren’t attached to your home, like sheds or garages.
C. Personal Property: Insures the contents of your home, such as furniture and electronics.
D. Loss of Use: Provides additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered peril.
Perils typically covered include fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, explosions, riots, civil commotion, damage from aircraft or vehicles, smoke, vandalism, theft, falling objects, accidental water discharge, sudden tearing apart, freezing, and volcanic eruptions.
Section II: Liability and Medical Coverage
E. Liability Coverage: Offers protection if a claim or lawsuit arises against you due to someone else’s bodily injury or property damage on your property.
F. Medical Payments: Covers medical expenses for people injured on your premises, regardless of who is at fault.
These are the core benefits of a homeowner policy. Next, it's important to determine the appropriate amount of insurance to purchase. This is often calculated using an insurance replacement cost calculator, which considers factors such as your home’s square footage and features that add value, like air conditioning or fireplaces. You may also need to provide details about the percentage of your basement that is finished.
Homeowner insurance policies typically offer two ways to settle claims:
- Actual Cash Value (ACV): Assesses replacement costs and deducts for depreciation. Often used for older homes.
- Replacement Cost: Replaces lost items with similar quality and material without considering depreciation.
Understanding these basics helps you make informed decisions about your homeowner insurance needs.
