What Does Homeowners Insurance Typically Cover?
Earthquake Insurance
Did you know? There are several fault lines in Kentucky and there have been 77 earthquakes in Kentucky on record since 1931 (www.homefacts.com).
What many people don’t know is the property coverage on your home insurance does not cover losses caused by ground movement, including earthquakes. That’s why many homeowners in Kentucky choose to add earthquake coverage to their homeowners insurance. That way, when the next earthquake happens, they will be ready.
Income Property Insurance
Do you own investment properties? For both commercial and residential rentals, as a landlords need to protect their property as well as their liability.

Liability Coverage
If something happens to your home that causes injury to an individual, your homeowner’s insurance can help protect your assets in the case a claim is filed against you.
Personal Property Coverage
If any of your personal property is damaged, your insurance can help reimburse you according to your insurance policy. Your personal property can include clothes, furniture, and more.
Personal Umbrella Insurance
Did you know the injured person, or their insurance company can go after your assets, and even your future job earnings, if you don’t carry enough insurance?
That’s why an umbrella policy is often necessary. Also described as an “excess liability policy”, an umbrella policy is designed to protect you and your assets from claims that exceed the limits of your underlying home and auto policies.
That way, you have the protection you need, even if your liability exceeds one million dollars.
Physical Damage Coverage
If your home is damaged, your homeowner’s insurance policy can help cover any losses. If the damage to your home is substantial and it causes you and your family to relocate, your insurance can take care of the relocation costs as well.

Many landlords require their tenants to carry renter’s insurance, but even if they don’t, you can protect your property and liability, in many cases for less than a dollar a day.
