Odds are you carry homeowners insurance on your Florida home. If you have a mortgage, your financial institution likely requires it. There are layers to your homeowners insurance you may not be aware of. Here is a closer look at homeowners insurance and what it may encompass.
- Coverage A Dwelling – This is the part most people think about first when they think of home insurance. It covers the structure of your home.
- Coverage B Other Structures – This is the portion of your coverage that would cover a shed or detached garaged.
- Coverage C Personal Property – Personal property includes your clothing, furniture and other personal possessions that may be lost due to a covered peril.
- Coverage D Loss of Use/Additional Living Expenses – This is worth considering because replacing a severely damaged home could take an extensive period of time. The cost of additional living expenses could be significant.
- Coverage E Personal Liability – If someone is injured while on your property, this is the coverage that would protect you. It could be a neighbor, friend, or even a delivery person.
- Coverage F Medical Payments to Others – Provides for the medical expenses to those who may be injured on your property.
- Additional Coverage – This is supplemental coverage to fill in gaps where your base policy may fall short. Coin collections, stamp collections, art, etc. may be better covered through additional coverage.
- Exclusions – This portion of your policy will note specifically what is not covered. Common exclusions are earthquakes and flooding.
