Homeowners insurance protects against damage to your home and belongings from wind/hail, fire, lightning, theft, and other covered occurrences. Additionally, your home insurance policy safeguards your assets if you’re liable for someone else’s injuries or property damage.
Most homeowners insurance policies provide a package of coverages. Keep in mind that you’re covered only if the loss is caused by a peril your policy covers. For example, if your home becomes unlivable due to an earthquake and your homeowners policy doesn’t cover earthquakes, your policy won’t pay for loss of use of your home.
