New Homeowners: Don’t Compromise on Home Insurance!

Buying a home in Alabama is an investment for your future. Home insurance is key to protecting this investment long-term. If you have a home mortgage, your lender will require home insurance coverage for the length of your loan. A customized home insurance policy from Surety Ins Inc. will safeguard you from theft, fire, vandalism, and other disasters that may befall your property.

Importance of Adequate Home Insurance Coverage

As a new homeowner, you may be tempted to skimp on insurance coverage to reduce premium costs. Skimping on insurance, however, can compromise your coverage, which may cost you more in the long run.

A standard home insurance policy generally offers three types of coverage: dwelling, property, and liability protection.

Dwelling insurance covers repairs to your home structure if it’s damaged by a covered peril like fire, lightning strike, hurricane, or tornado. Insufficient coverage could result in your having to pay for most of the damage out of pocket. If your coverage is less than the replacement cost value of your property, you could suffer substantial financial loss if your home is totally destroyed in a disaster.

Property insurance protects your belongings. Ideally, this coverage should be enough to replace costly goods if they’re stolen or damaged in a disaster, so you don’t have to replace them on your own.

Liability insurance protects you against accidental injuries to guests while visiting your property. If you host a BBQ and a guest is injured in a slip and fall, liability insurance will pay his medical bills. If a serious injury leads to a lawsuit, liability insurance will protect you financially by covering your legal bills and judgment.
