What Is Homeowners Insurance?
Standard homeowner's insurance policies insure your home’s structure and personal belongings in your home in the event of a destructive event, such as a fire. Housefires are incredibly common, and having homeowners insurance will ensure you have adequate protection in taking the next steps. Many homeowner insurance policies are a “package policy”. A package policy is a coverage that includes not only damage to your property, but also your legal responsibility or liability for any injuries or property damage to others caused by you or your family. This will include household pets as well.
