When Most Think about Insuring Their Home

When most people think about insuring and protecting their home, they think about protecting it from theft, storm, fire, and wind damage. Homeowners insurance is, of course, the primary method most individuals use to protect these homes.

What You Should Know about Liability Coverage

Here’s what you should know about your homeowner’s insurance policy liability coverage.

You Have a Duty to Protect Visitors

Whether visitors are friends, relatives, neighbors, contract workers, or delivery people, you are responsible for ensuring their safety while on your property. You could be held financially accountable for injuries if they should get injured by a dog, slip and fall, or trip due to a loose rug or broken concrete.

This could be expensive in terms of settlements or judgments, and the associated legal costs could be devastating. Your homeowner’s insurance policy’s liability coverage can provide valuable relief.

While it can be easier to value your home’s structure, contents, and outbuildings, liability claims might be more challenging to calculate. Your liability coverage serves as your financial backup.
