Home Insurance Risk Assessment: What Does Your Policy Really Cover?

Investing in a Home Insurance policy is one of the best things that you can do, especially if you have a home-based business. However, in terms of risks, one can ask how much of this specific type of insurance policy can cover.
​
The subsequent paragraphs will attempt to answer this question right away to help you decide.

1. Damage
First, the Home Insurance Policy tends to cover damage to property due to accidents. In detail, the term “damage” can refer to the following:

• The Physical Structure
• Corporeal Belongings
• Personal Liability Issues (physical injuries within the property lines)

2. Theft
If you experience burglaries, some home insurance companies can cover the cost of replacing household elements that may have been stolen from you. Of course, there are also limits to this. You would have to contact your local insurance agency to find out those limits.

3. Legal Protection
Home Insurance policies can also cover the cost of litigation in case physical injury-causing accidents occur inside your home. Different insurance companies have varying policies regarding this, so you have to consult with your company for more details.

4. Liability Coverage Extensions
Depending on the company itself, you may be able to extend your policies liability coverage feature to an adjacent vacant lot that you own or to another property that you rent out near your home. Of course, this all depends on the kind of insurance policy that you take out. (I.e., Commercial Home Insurance or Personal Property Insurance)

Again contact your local agent to find out the specifics.

5. The Valuables
Lastly, you have to take note of the limitations of your policy's coverage tenets. Some companies have limited coverage features for valuables such as jewelry and other personal items, for instance. In this case, you may have to take out a separate type of insurance policy to cover your personal belongings.

Conclusion
By knowing the full extent of your coverage and its limits, you will be able to find out how much protection you will get for the amount that you have to pay.
