Hazard insurance policies are designed to take care of you and the loan company for damage to property caused by smoke and fire, hail showers, powerful winds, lightning storms, explosions, volcano eruptions, riots and vandalism, burglary, damage from water, and other similar freak accidents of major. When a tall evergreen tree topples onto your roof during a windstorm or when a burglar destroys your car window to steal your expensive stereo, your policy will cover the costs to repair the damage or substitute a replacement item. If you search hard enough you can find some hazard policies willing to ensure theft of property transported outside of your house such as in your automobile or at work.

The heart of your homeowner’s insurance covers damage to your house and everything associated with it. But the basic coverage isn’t adequate to give you full protection. You’ll be given the option to purchase additional coverage for:

1) Extra structures other than your home like the garage, outdoor shed, pool, separate guest unit, as well as attached fixtures such a stone walls, driveways, sidewalks, and wood fences.

2) Personal property like you’re clothes, expensive art, fancy jewelry, rare coin collections, and high end electronics, up to a predetermined replacement value.

3) Home business property such as computers, workstations, and copiers. Business inventories can also be protected in a policy.

4) Loss of use-As a catastrophe will displace you from your home, your policy will provide benefits to pay for your rent, motel stay, and food, minus the amount you pay for daily necessities, while your property is being reconstructed following a natural disaster.

5) Landscaping like your fruit trees, perennials, evergreen bushes, and water fountains.

Even though you’re not obligated to purchase the above coverage, you’ll probably need to purchase the whole package to get the best protection for your home.

When you first inspect a hazard insurance policy it may appear to be pretty thorough. But as you read through the fine details including the exclusions clause, you’ll quickly discover situations that won’t be insured such as water flooding, earthquakes, mud slides, police action, electrical outages, sewer issues, and several other damages are not covered. Insurance companies are wary to ensure these high loss property damages. But don’t give up hope, with a little diligence you can locate an insurance company willing to provide protection for special circumstances such as flooding and earthquakes. It’s in your best interest to purchase additional coverage for precarious situations that can cause serious damage and have a high likelihood of occurring such as an earthquake in particular areas of California.
