How does homeowners insurance work in Tennessee?
Insurance for your house may cover the cost of repairing or replacing parts that have been damaged by certain hazards such as fire, vandalism, or storms. Home insurance policies can cover the physical structure of your house and other structures on your property, along with your personal property and liability protection. Types of perils that typically aren’t covered are earthquakes and floods.
What can homeowners insurance cover?
The structure of your home. Our agents use the latest tools to help determine the coverage and policy needs of your home.
Your personal possessions. Most homeowners insurance policies can provide coverage for your personal possessions.
Additional living expenses after a disaster. If you’re required to live away from home when a covered loss makes your home uninhabitable, your temporary increased cost of living may be covered.
Liability to others. This part of your policy can provide coverage for you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage for which you are legally liable. It may pay for both the cost of defending you in court and for any damages a court rules you must pay, up to the limit of liability. You should purchase enough liability insurance to protect your assets.
Why do I need homeowners insurance?
It may be a requirement. Most mortgage lenders will require homeowners to provide proof that their home is satisfactorily insured in order to protect the lender’s investment in case the house is damaged or destroyed.
It protects more than just your house. Homeowners insurance coverage options may extend to more than just your physical house. It can include coverage for your deck, garage, personal property, property damage to another's property (subject to your contract), and if a guest is injured at your home.
How much personal property coverage do I need?
To determine the coverage needed to protect your personal property, you’ll need to conduct a home inventory. This is a detailed list of everything you own and information related to the cost to replace these items if they were stolen or destroyed by a disaster such as a fire.
*There may be limits on how much coverage is provided for certain items such as jewelry, silverware, furs, and guns. Your agent will be able to advise you on how to obtain additional coverage if needed.
