You are also insured against damage to your house caused by falling trees, crashing cars, rampaging farm animals, an aircraft landing on your house, earthquakes, lightning and explosions. The structure of your home is well insured against vandals or malicious attacks by people, though you would like to think that would’t be necessary, but we are talking about insurance.
Some types of coverage are a little more specialized and are often associated or required for certain areas. Flood insurance and insurance against subsidence, or land slides which can devastate a home are examples of these types of coverage. Your insurer will want to know if your house is located in an area prone to these types of risks and if you are then this will be reflected in a higher premium.
The obvious payoff to having home insurance is that you can make a claim for repairs or the reconstruction of your property if it is damaged or consequently uninhabitable.
