We can answer your questions concerning insurance coverage for any of the Florida homeowner provisions we have listed:
- Home (or Dwelling) - The most important aspect of your homeowners insurance is the provision to pay for damage or destruction to your house, unattached structures and other buildings, i.e., privacy fence, attached garage, screened enclosure, etc.
- Personal Property - Insurance coverage for the contents of your house, including furniture, clothing, household appliances and other tangible property that was damaged, stolen or destroyed by an event like weather, vandalism or theft.
- Liability Insurance - Important financial protection in the event that you are sued and determined to be responsible for someone else's injuries or damages.
- Medical Payments - Covers the unexpected medical bills for anyone injured on your property.
- Loss of Use - Pays for the additional cost of living expenses incurred when your home is deemed uninhabitable due to a loss covered by your homeowner's policy. Most standard Homeowners Insurance policies reimburse a percentage of your Homeowners Insurance coverage.
Buying a Homeowners Insurance Policy
A home is the most expensive purchase that most individuals or couples ever make. We know how important it is to protect your investments. Bissell & Associates' goal is to make certain that you understand the homeowners insurance coverage you are buying. Some of the factors that might affect your policy's premium are listed below:
- Age of the Home - The construction date of your personal property plays a role in how the insurance carrier will determine your monthly homeowner's insurance premium. Older homes often have a higher probability of being damaged and contain materials that are actually more expensive to replace.
- Type of Construction - Whether or not your home is constructed of brick, masonry, wood frame or a combination of materials, it can affect your homeowner's insurance premium.
- Building Materials - Homes built during various eras were constructed with materials that might benefit you or require a higher premium for a homeowner's coverage. Electrical wiring, wall insulation, roofing materials and double windows are just a few of the more important building material factors.
- Location of Dwelling - Naturally, homes built where hurricanes, tornadoes or earthquakes occur are at higher risk for experiencing a catastrophic event. We have 38 years of experience writing homeowners insurance policies in Florida.
- Safety Protection - All homes today should be equipped with smoke detection and smoke alarm systems. Insurance carriers recognize the benefits of an alarm system, especially those contracted with a 24-hour response service. Often homeowners will receive a discount for having a system installed. Fire sprinkler systems and high-impact storm windows are also premium savers.
- Claims History - Insurance carriers may impose a higher monthly premium on an individual with a history of property damage claims.
We hope your family never experiences a mishap. However, if you do need to file a claim, Bissell & Associates will always be there to help.
