Select a strong
Insurer Fast, fair claim service is a must
when it comes to homeowners coverage. Ask about the company.
Schedule Art,
Fun, Antiques & Collectibles Make certain
all items of this nature are "scheduled" for their worth.
Don't Guess
at Your Coverage The cost of rebuilding your
home might exceed your estimate. Consult your agent and determine
how much you need to build from the ground up. (In a fire, you could
be left with just a foundation).
Make Sure
You Get Proper Credits Many policies provide
discounts for central and other alarm systems, for proximity to fire hydrants
and fire stations ... for proper smoke alarms.
Don't Under-Insure
Yourself Saving a few dollars up front could
cost you a significant amount of money at a time of loss.
Check Your
Coverage for "Living Expenses" In the event
of fire or other damages to your home, your policy should provide adequate
payment for alternate lodging during the period of rebuilding.
Always Opt
for Replacement Value Unless you insure for
replacement cost of household processions, you will be paid only purchase
price, less depreciation, for items burned or stolen.
Find Out About
Excess Liability Don't take basic liability
coverage for granted ... especially if you have "Attractive Hazards" such
as a swimming pool or a "frisky" pet.
Choose an
Appropriate Deductible The higher the amount
of a property loss you elect to "Self insure" the lower your premium is
likely to be.
Don't Ignore
Earthquake & Flood Coverage "It cannot
happen here" has cost many a homeowner thousands of dollars and countless
grief. Neither peril is covered under standard policies.
Ask About
"Off-Premises" Coverage Do not take chances
with expensive equipment. Make sure your insurance covers items in
transit and for "Mysterious disappearance".
