Home Insurance is a package policy, meaning it covers damage to your property and things you keep in it, as well as your liability to third party caused by your property damage.
Commonly, home insurance protects you against fire or most disaster, including floods and earthquake, Volcanic Eruption & Tsunami; though there are some exceptions. The standard home insurance policy includes four types of coverage;
- House Structure
This part pays you to repair or rebuild your house if it is damaged or destroyed by fire, lightning or other disaster listed in your policy. Damage by earthquake is usually bought separately. - Personal Belongings
Things you keep in it such as furniture, clothes, electronic devices and other personal items are covered if they are stolen or destroyed by fire and other insured disaster. Expensive items such as jewelleries or furs are usually not fully covered. - Liability Protection
This covers you against any bodily injury or property damage that followed by your property damage. In the event a friend is injured in your house, s/he can be covered by your insurance (but not when you got injured). Also, if your boy ruined someone’s else rug, it will be covered (but not if it is your rug) - Additional Living Expenses
If there is damage caused by insured disaster, and you need additional costs of living away from your home, your insurance company will pay you.
Before buying a home insurance, it is wise to consider what disaster which may happen (such as tsunami, earthquake) and ask your insurance company if they can cover this. It is also important to buy enough insurance policies – not under-estimation or over-estimation so you can rebuild your house without financial problem. Remember, Insurance Company will not reimburse any over-estimate insurance!
