Personal liability coverage and medical payments to others

Personal liability insurance provides coverage toward property damage and bodily injury to others, for which you are legally responsible. Believe it or not, if a guest in your home is injured from a fall or other mishap, you will be obligated to provide compensation. You may also be held responsible for accidents that happen away from your property which are caused by you or family members who live with you. Personal liability covers legal defense funds and damages if you are sued up to the limit of liability as well as any necessary medical payments. What could seem like a harmless accident might cost you more than you’d imagine, so having personal liability coverage is essential.

Loss of Use of your Home during a Claim

Loss of use coverage, often referred to as Additional Living Expense (ALE), provides for living expenses including temporary housing and meal allowances while your home is being repaired after a natural disaster. Damage from wind, fire, or hurricanes are just some of the types of claims allowed under the ALE policy. Additional expenses such as moving costs, storage fees, and loss of income due to misplaced tenants may also be covered. This policy is essential; it eases your mind and ensures you will have food and lodging during the length of time it takes to repair your home.

Personal Property and Valuables

If you lost all of your personal belongings, it would be very expensive to replace everything. Personal Property coverage allows for the Actual Cash Value payment for clothing, household furnishings, and other personal property up to specified limits in the event of a covered disaster such as fire or a tornado. Be sure to take a careful inventory of your belongings when acquiring this policy; it’s also recommended that you document certain high value items. Heritage also offers additional coverage options such as increased limits on jewelry, instruments, and fine art, as well as a replacement cost option on personal property.

Insurance Coverage for Other Structures

Your Heritage homeowners insurance policy (H03) also provides coverage for other structures on your NC property such as a free-standing garage or garden shed. Virtually any item, including a patio or retaining wall, could be eligible for coverage, as replacing these items could create a significant expense. Additional coverage can be added for more expensive structures such as a pool house.
