Homeowner’s Insurance

Homeowners insurance protects against damage to your home and against harm the home causes to other people. It covers the building and your belongings, including losses from burglary, fire, or many storms, and it can pay medical bills if someone is injured there. Flood and earthquake damage are usually excluded and need their own policies. This is the owner’s policy for the building.
