Standard homeowners insurance policies will typically help pay to repair damage caused by certain risks, or perils, including:
● Theft
● Fire and smoke
● Windstorm or hail
● Falling objects
● Frozen plumbing
● Water damage from plumbing, water heater, heating or cooling system or appliance
Actual cash value refers to the current value of property measured in cash. Insurance adjusters typically arrive at the ACV amount by taking the replacement cost and deducting depreciation that’s brought about by wear and tear and age
Replacement cost is a payment equal to the amount you’d pay to replace whatever was damaged or stolen at today’s cost.
Home insurance policies in Florida provide the following types of coverage:
Covers damage or destruction to your house in the case of any untimely events, including hail, wind, fire, and theft.
Covers the contents of your house that are damaged, stolen, or destroyed, including furniture, clothing, technology, and appliances.
Covers you against financial loss if you are sued and found legally responsible for someone else’s injury or property damage.
Covers necessary medical expenses incurred in the event there is an accident at your home that caused bodily injury to someone else.
Covers additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable due to a covered loss. Most insurance policies pay 10% to 20% of the amount of your dwelling coverage.
Covers damages or destruction to other structures on your property, such as your garage, patio, fence, gazebo, small shed or barn.
