What Does Homeowner's Insurance Usually Cover?
1/30/2012 12:00:00 AM
A standard homeowner's insurance policy will usually cover four key areas: liability protection, theft, coverage for loss or damage of your personal property and living away from home expenses if you are unable to return to live in your home temporarily after a catastrophic event such as a fire. Florida house insurance policyholders will find that insurance for key damage for flooding or hurricanes is usually required to be purchased separately.
You will need to ensure that the amount of home insurance you purchase is enough to give sufficient coverage to rebuild the structure and replace lost or damaged possessions should your home be completely destroyed. With regard to personal possessions, carry out an inventory to find out the worth of your personal goods. It is also important to work out whether you are purchasing actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost (RC) for your possessions. ACV will pay the amount of the possession minus depreciation while replacement cost is the cost of replacing the item.
