3 Things To Look Into When You Are Getting Homeowner's Insurance

Insurance Blog

Having homeowner's insurance is a smart idea because if something goes wrong at your house, you will have some money in order to fix the issues. Some mortgage companies will require you to carry homeowner's insurance, as well. When you are getting your insurance, you want to make sure that you check out your options, so that you can get the best insurance for you and your needs. So, what are some things that you should look for?

Dorm Coverage

Not everyone knows that homeowner's insurance may also cover belongings and other issues even though they aren't even at your house. For example, if you have a college aged child who is going to live in a dorm at school. You send them off to college with all the techy goodies like their laptop, a smart TV, their cellphone, and all kinds of other things. But then, something happens to all those things. If you have coverage through your homeowner's insurance, your insurance can pay to replace those things. You will need to check with your agent or insurance company to make sure that you have that coverage. 

Medical Coverage

If something happens to someone on your property, you want to make sure that their medical bills can be paid for, otherwise you run the risk of them coming back and suing you to cover their medical costs. When you get that insurance coverage, you will want to check to make sure you know who is and isn't entitled to any medical coverage. For example, someone who is trespassing on your property, especially if your property is marked as no trespassing, they would have no standing in order to sue you for any medical costs. 

Flood Insurance

You want to talk to your homeowner's insurance company about getting flood insurance. This isn't something that is covered by your homeowner's insurance, so you will need to check with your insurance company about what you need to have in order to cover the risk of flooding to your home. You will need to know that flood insurance doesn't cover your house being flooded out because of pipes breaking in your house. That's something that would be covered by homeowner's insurance. Flood insurance is more about rivers and lakes overflowing and invading your house. 

If you are going to get homeowner's insurance, you need to make sure that you are getting all the coverage that you need.
