What Is Homeowners Insurance? 
Your homeowners insurance policy is a way to provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones in disaster scenarios. A home insurance policy is a package policy because it can protect you from personal liability claims and provide coverage for costly property damage. 

How Does Homeowners Insurance Work? 
Homeowners insurance is a binding agreement between you and your insurance company. They agree to pay for property repairs and replacements caused by damage due to covered perils and personal liability claims, up to your policy limits, in exchange for your premium. In order to receive a settlement from an insurer, you can work with your agent to navigate the claims process. 

What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover? 
Although individual policies may vary, homeowners insurance typically includes the following coverages: 

• Personal property coverage may pay for repairs or replacements to your possessions if they are damaged from a covered peril.
• Personal liability coverage can pay for legal fees and medical bills arising from claims that you caused property damage or bodily injury to a third party.
• Dwelling coverage may pay for repairs or replacements to structural elements of your home that are damaged from a covered loss. 
• Additional living expenses can reimburse you for costs associated with temporarily leaving your home if property damage makes it uninhabitable. 

Remember that property damage resulting from some natural disasters (e.g., floods) may not be covered under a typical home insurance policy. To ensure you have sufficient protection, ask your insurance agent if your home is in an area prone to these events. If so, you may want to consider purchasing a separate flood insurance policy or endorsements for coverage against other excluded perils. 

Is Homeowners Insurance Required? 
Homeowners are not required to purchase home insurance by law, but most mortgage lenders will require it to issue a loan. Even if you don’t have a mortgage on your property, you may want to consider purchasing homeowners insurance to protect your investment.
