Homeowners Insurance in Oklahoma
Everyone’s needs are not the same, so it is best to consult your agent to help assess your needs and find the homeowners insurance policy that is right for you.
What is Homeowners Insurance?
Homeowners Insurance is a policy that provides financial protection for your home and the property inside should disaster hit. A homeowner’s policy can help with costs that are caused by fire, hurricane, theft, or an incident involving another person or party that holds the homeowner liable.
Homeowners insurance is a package policy because it encompasses both property damage and liability protection. If someone who lives in the home, including pets, were to cause damage or injury to someone else’s property or person liability coverage would respond. This liability protection also extends to when the residents of the home are not physically at the address of the home. This coverage helps with paying for medical expenses, legal costs, and property damages.
The property damage protection would cover the repairs or replacement to the physical structure of the home or personal property. For example, a hailstorm damages the roof on the house. This portion of the policy would help with the expenses of getting the roof repaired or replaced.
Why Do You Need Homeowners Insurance?
- If a fire or a disaster caused damage to or destroyed your home, repairing or replacing the home and the contents gets expensive. The homeowner’s policy would help with these expenses so that the burden is not all yours to bear in the event of damage.
- It is important to know that most homeowners’ policies do not provide flood or earthquake coverage without adding it. For more information about these types of coverage, give us a call at 580-772-7101.
- If a guest is injured while at your home, the liability coverage will help pay for their medical expenses and legal costs should they occur.
- If you experienced a loss due to theft you could be reimbursed.
- If you have a mortgage on the house, mortgage companies require you to have insurance to protect an asset in which they have an interest.
Some things to think about when looking for insurance:
How much coverage do you need for your home and everything that is inside? Kim always asks it like “If you were to turn your house upside down, how much would everything that falls out cost to replace?” That amount plus the value of your home is a good place to start when thinking about coverage amounts.
Do you have a security system or a fire alarm/fire-resistant features? If the answer is yes, there could be discounts available to you for having those security features. Be sure to ask about other discounts that might be available to you as well.
