Some homeowners believe when they have home insurance in Denver, CO, that they are covered no matter what happens. However, that’s not the case and there are a few common misconceptions about home insurance.
Flood Damage Is Covered
Home insurance won’t cover flood damage and you will need a separate policy in order to be covered in the event of a flood.
Medical Expenses Are Covered
The medical payments option in your home insurance is not designed to protect you or your family in the event of an injury, but instead is used to protect any guests that get injured on your property.
Making an Inventory List Is a Waste
The inventory lists actually serves as your proof of ownership, so when you need to file a claim you will be asked to list all the items that were lost. Don’t forget anything so that you can maximize your reimbursement.
Insurance Covers All Your Valuables
Expensive valuables, such as jewelry and furs, may not be covered. You should double check with your agent at AFI Insurance to see how much coverage you have, and then get an extra policy that covers the possessions you need protected.
Home Insurance Will Cover Mold
Many times home insurance will not cover mold or damages that are caused by poor maintenance. Insurance is not there to help you maintain your home and you alone are responsible for home maintenance.
You Are Required to Have Home Insurance
Many mortgage lenders will require you to have home insurance, but after you pay off your loan you aren’t required by law in Denver, CO to have home insurance. Home insurance is a good investment to have to protect your home, but you don’t need to have it.
