Today more than ever the importance of having any form of home insurance policy can not be over emphasized and to be honest one never knows when something is going to happen to either us or our home.
Although a homeowner may be completely devastated when either a sudden or unexpected loss occurs to their home or personal property they do not have to be unprepared to deal with such unfortunate events should they strike.
Not only does home insurance protect you from total loss when a disastrous event occurs, but it also helps protect the owner of the home in case someone who does not live in the property accidentally gets hurt whilst visiting.
Luckily home insurance will prepare the property owner should their home get damaged by “acts of God” (natural events – flooding, fire, storm damage etc.) or if someone happens to get injured and they will not be held solely responsible for any damage or injury caused.
Most policies for home insurance will cover a home under an “All Risks” clause which simply means that as long as the policy remains intact (no non payments) it will cover both the house and the property inside under any circumstances that are not noted in any exclusion clauses on the policy.
In some cases a home will be covered for fire damage, earthquake damage or acts of vandalism under an “All Risks” policy, but if the policy contains a clause that states the home is not covered against flood damage, then any water damage caused because of a flood would not be covered.
By working closely with their insurance agent a homeowner will be prepared for any unexpected events and the lack of any sort of home insurance policy will only make a disastrous even more devastating on the homeowner and their family.
So in the end it is vital to have a home insurance policy as it will ultimately provide you with a sense of security for both you and your family.
