Selection Coverage
Please choose one from each coverage:
Coverage A: Dwelling
All policies except Renters Insurance (HO4) carry Coverage A. Condo Policies (HO6) will carry a minimal amount to pay for inner walls. The home itself: frame, wood flooring and any "fixed" objects are covered under this section. Coverage A would be the amount of money available to rebuild if your home were completely destoyed.
Coverage B: Other Structures
Coverage B protects other structures, such as an attached or detached garage, shed. This is standard coverage. Therefore there is no deduction if it is taken off the policy. This coverage usually determined by calculating 10% of coverage A. For example, a policy with coverage A at $100,000 would have coverage B at $10,000.
Coverage C: Personal Property
Coverage C provides a certain amount of insurance for the personal property you have in the home. This coverage is determined by calculating 50% of your dwelling Coverage A. If your dwelling coverage is at $100,000, your contents coverage would be calculated at $50,000. The minimum insurance for personal property is normally 40% of Coverage A.
Coverage D: Loss of Use
If your home is destroyed by an insured peril, or it becomes uninhabitable because of an insured peril, Coverage D provides the money to set up a temporary living situation.
Coverage E provides protection from lawsuits due to injuries that occur in or on your premises. It is wise to carry at least $500,000 if you own a home or any significant investment. You can increase this coverage to $1,000,000 or higher with a "Personal Umbrella."
