Consumer Guide For Homeowners Insurance – State of Georgia
What Is Homeowners Insurance?
Homeowner’s insurance is coverage for your home, contents, and your personal liability. A homeowner’s policy usually covers: (1) Property damage to your home and other detached buildings. (2) Contents and personal belongings. (3) Reimbursements for your additional cost to live at another place if your home is damaged and uninhabitable. (4) Personal liability to protect you from a claim or lawsuit if you are responsible for injuries to others or damage to their property.
What Is Usually Not Covered?
Most homeowner’s policies will not cover vehicles or vehicle stereo equipment, or losses from natural disaster such as flooding, earthquakes or nuclear accidents. You can usually buy coverage for these things in a separate policy.
