The insurance coverages you need in Burson

Homeowners in Burson (or just about anywhere for that matter) should be aware of the different types of protection offered by a homeowners policy. Here is a quick overview:

Dwelling: This portion of your policy will help repair or rebuild your home’s structure if it is damaged or destroyed by a covered peril. Your dwelling coverage levels should be enough to cover the cost of rebuilding your home.

Liability: The liability portion of the policy will help cover any liability issues that come up at your home. It will help pay medical as well as legal bills for any injuries that happen to guests at your home. This can be the result of someone being injured at your home, falling down your stairs for example or if your pet bites someone the liability portion of your policy will step up.

A standard homeowners policy comes with $100,000 in liability coverage but most experts recommend carrying at least $300,000 in coverage. Medical and legal bills can quickly add up so make sure you are carrying enough liability protection.

Personal Property: This coverage will repair or replace your personal possessions if they are damaged or destroyed by a covered peril. The coverage amount for your personal property is 50 percent of your dwelling coverage which means that if you are carrying $300,000 in homeowners insurance on your home, your coverage level for your personal property is $150,000.

Other Structures: This covers other structures on your property such as outbuildings, sheds, barns, detached garages and other structures. This coverage is 10 percent of your coverage levels on most policies so if you are carrying $200,000 on your home, your other structures are protected by $20,000 in coverage. This is all structures combined.

Loss of Use: If your home is so damaged that you can’t live in it while it is being repaired the loss of use portion of your policy will step up. This coverage will help cover expenses you incur due to being out of your home. It will pay hotel bills, restaurant tabs as well as other expenses such as dry cleaning.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
