Pennsylvania House Buyers: When you own a home you need homeowner’s insurance. This is protection for the biggest investment you make in your lifetime. Your home has a specific value and you should have it insured for at least that amount in case of fire, flood, or other disaster. Homeowner’s insurance can also cover such things as theft and injury.

The injury of a visitor can be such a simple thing, yet can cause you to lose your home if you are not careful. A trip over a loose brick in your walkway that causes a broken arm can cost you in a lawsuit. The visitor may use that arm to make a living, and you will be possibly be charged with responsibility for that as well. Homeowner’s insurance gives you provision to pay for medical expenses in this case.

The insurance company will have a vested interest in any fraudulent slip fall case that could occur and that’s a blessing in disguise. Wherever the insurance investigators are involved, it means that if there was fraud they are likely to catch it and get the lawsuit thrown out, releasing you of your liability in most cases.Shop around because there are many different criteria that are used depending on the specific insurer.

Some will charge much more for less coverage but have a better reputation. Some will insure your house if you actively use a fireplace for auxiliary heat and others will either charge you an inflated rate or deny you coverage altogether.Home insurers can cancel your policy at any time but in most states they must give you 60 days to find replacement coverage with another company. This was the case recently in a state that had increasing claims for wildfire damage. Some companies began cancelling their customers’ policies if they were within the fire prone zones.

The insurer’s decisions are not personal. They do not discriminate in any way except on a level of probability of loss in their investments. They use statistics to determine rates. Period. If you live in a natural disaster prone area, you may have to pay extra for flood coverage, for example, or you may be denied by a company that just doesn’t do insurance in flood plain areas.The bottom line is to look for insurers and compare their rates. Make sure they will cover you under your credit, locality, and specific details of the home. Get the best rate, but get coverage. Your mortgage lender could require it as part of the loan agreement.
