HOME
Insurance
For most homeowners, your house is your most valuable asset and deserves top-notch protection. When damage or destruction occurs, it’s crucial to have your claim handled by an independent insurance company that truly understands the significance of the place you call home.
What is Home Insurance?
Home insurance is a policy designed to protect your home from various types of damage. However, if you're seeking home insurance coverage you may find the process more complex than it seems. Policies can be intricate, and comparing coverage options and rates can be confusing.
Without the help of an independent agent like Cyber Agent Independent Insurance, distinguishing between different home insurance policies can be challenging.
Whether you own or rent, having home insurance is crucial for financial protection against losses due to events such as fire, theft, vandalism, and other covered incidents. It also provides coverage if someone is injured on your property and wins a legal judgment against you.
Home insurance policies vary based on the types of losses covered, the coverages you select, and the type of residence you have. You can choose a comprehensive policy that covers a wide range of issues like fire, hail, smoke, falling objects, vandalism, and theft of personal property, or opt for a policy that only covers specific losses
What Does Home Insurance Cover?
Here are some common coverage options typically found in a home insurance policy:
Dwelling Coverage
This part of your policy covers the main structure of your home. It helps with the cost of rebuilding or repairing your home, which can fluctuate based on material costs, labor, and market conditions. We will conduct a replacement cost analysis to determine the amount needed to fully rebuild your home in the event of a total loss.
Other Structures Coverage
This covers structures on your property that are not attached to your home, such as fences, driveways, sidewalks, and detached buildings like sheds and garages. This coverage is usually set at 10% of your Dwelling limit but can be adjusted if you need more protection.
Personal Property Coverage
This protects your personal belongings, including clothing, furniture, electronics, and appliances. Essentially, it covers the contents of your home.
Loss of Use Coverage
If your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, this coverage helps with living expenses while you stay elsewhere temporarily.
Medical Expense Coverage
This covers medical costs for guests injured on your property and, in some cases, for injuries that occur off your property. It does not cover medical expenses for you or your household members.
Family/Personal Liability Coverage
This provides protection if you are legally responsible for someone else's injury or property damage. Coverage typically extends worldwide. When setting your liability limits, consider your income and assets to ensure adequate protection. You may need an Umbrella policy for additional coverage in some cases.
Scheduled Personal Property Coverage
For valuables or collectibles such as jewelry, firearms, or art, you might need additional coverage to fully protect these items.
