Types of Homeowners Insurance Coverage

Insurance can help protect your house, garage, shed and other structures. We even help to cover your personal property, medical and legal bills, repair or replace damaged or stolen property, pay temporary living expenses and more.
 

Choose the Best Types of Homeowners Insurance

Dwelling Insurance Coverage

Dwelling insurance coverage helps pay to repair or rebuild the structure of your home and the structures attached to it, such as roofs. It also includes internal systems like wiring and plumbing, plus heating and air conditioning. Most home insurance policies don’t cover damage from or earthquakes, but there are additional coverage options to help if these situations occur.

Other Structures Insurance Coverage

This helps cover structures on your property that aren’t attached to your house. For example, if your shed collapses from heavy snow, la cobertura para otras estructuras can help cover the cost of damages.

Personal Property Insurance Coverage

La cobertura de propiedad personal helps protect your personal belongings such as furniture, clothing and appliances. When you insure your personal property with replacement cost coverage, covered property that is stolen or damaged will be replaced with a comparable item at today’s value, not depreciated actual cash value.

Cobertura de pérdida de uso

This coverage helps pay your living expenses, up to policy limits, if you cannot live in your home due to a covered loss or after suffering a loss. So, if your house is damaged from a fire and needs repairs, this coverage helps to cover the costs to stay in a hotel or rental.

Cobertura por responsabilidad civil

En caso de que alguien externo a su vivienda sufra lesiones o daños a la propiedad de los que usted es legalmente responsable, personal liability puede ayudarle a cubrir sus gastos de defensa legal y la sentencia en su contra, hasta los límites establecidos en su póliza.

Cobertura de gastos médicos

La cobertura de gastos médicos ayuda a pagar facturas de servicios médicos de emergencia si una persona que no es residente de su hogar sufre alguna lesión en su propiedad.  Asimismo, ofrece cobertura por lesiones ocasionadas por un integrante de su familia o mascota, sin importar dónde sucedan. Las facturas se pagan hasta el límite de su póliza aunque usted sea responsable legalmente o no.2

Hazard Insurance Coverage

Hazard insurance coverage is a term used by mortgage lenders. It refers to coverage that helps protect your home from various hazards such as wind, fire, hail and theft. It is not different than dwelling coverage. Your mortgage lender may require certain coverage limits to protect their investment in your property.
 

Optional Types of Home Insurance Coverages

If you’re concerned about significant damage to your home, these optional coverages can help you have greater peace of mind.

Additional Limits Coverage

If your home is deemed a total loss, full replacement cost coverage pays the full cost to rebuild your home up to 125% of your coverage limits. Depending on where you live, a coverage limit of up to 150% may be available.

ProtectorPLUS Zero Deductible Benefit Coverage

ProtectorPLUS Zero Deductible Benefit coverage waives the homeowners insurance deductible (up to $5,000) if your home is severely damaged by a qualifying loss of $27,500 or more. For example, if your home is struck by lightning and there is electrical and structural damage exceeding $27,500, ProtectorPLUS Zero Deductible Benefit coverage would waive your deductible.
