Understanding Homeowners
Insurance
Your Homeowners insurance policy is very important to you whether you own or rent your home. It offers a combination of property and liability coverage's in one convenient package to serve a variety of needs. Our Homeowners policy is extremely flexible. Along with the basic coverage's that come in all of our homeowners policies, you can purchase special optional coverage's to form the homeowners package that best suits your needs and lifestyle. Your independent insurance agent will work with you to determine the standard and optional coverage's you need, combined in a single comprehensive package. Your Homeowners policy with Collins and Miller Insurance is designed to be convenient, affordable and flexible. Standard coverage's Perhaps your top priority is to have your home and personal property protected from damage. A loss could be caused by anything from fire and lightning, windstorm, smoke, freezing and theft, to glass breakage, explosion and the weight of ice, snow or sleet. The basic part of your homeowners insurance package covers the physical structure of your home and your personal property from damage from these and other perils. For those losses caused by the negligence of you or others in your household which result in injury to another person or damage to his or her property, your homeowners package provides liability coverage's. With these coverage's, you and other household members are protected in the event that you are found legally responsible for such injuries or damages. Optional coverage's* Your basic policy can be enhanced by adding any of a wide array of optional coverage's. Among these coverage's are: Home Replacement Cost Guarantee You will be reimbursed for the full current cost* of repairing or rebuilding your home as it was prior to the loss, regardless of your policy limit, provided you have insured your home to 1 00% of its replacement cost Replacement Cost Coverage for Personal Property If any of your household furnishings, appliances, clothing or other personal property are damaged due to a covered loss, you will receive the full current cost to repair or replace them up to your coverage limits for those items. |
| Scheduled Personal
Property
You can insure unique or high-valued items separately from your general policy. Many people "schedule" jewelry, furs, silverware and other precious personal items in this way, to assure you'll be reimbursed for their full value. Credit Card/Funds Transfer Card Coverage You receive up to $1,000 coverage applicable to losses resulting from the misuse of lost or stolen credit cards and funds transfer cards. Inflation Protection To help ensure the coverage on your home remains adequate year to year, the dwelling coverage limit is automatically increased at each renewal to an amount reflecting changes in construction costs and other pertinent factors. Water Back-up and Sump Over-flow Damage caused by water that backs up through sewers or drains and that is not caused by your negligence is covered under this valuable option. Many other important options are also available. For Renters Only
