Homeowners Liability Insurance – How to Get the Best Rate
Looking for homeowners liability insurance? Here’s how to get the best rate.
Homeowners Insurance Coverage
Homeowners insurance provides four separate ares of coverage:
1. Structural coverage pays to repair or rebuild your home when its damaged by fire, vandalism, or acts of nature.
2. Personal property coverage pays to repair or replace your personal belongings when they’re damaged or destroyed.
3. Additional living expenses coverage pays for your living expenses while your home is being repaired due to damage from fire or other insured disasters.
4. Liability insurance pays for damages to other people caused by you, your family members, or your pets.
Homeowners Liability Insurance Coverage
Liability insurance covers you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage when you, your family, or your pets are responsible. It pays for the other person’s medical expenses, property damage expenses, and any legal fees you may incur.
You should purchase enough liability insurance to protect you assets in the event a lawsuit is filed against you. Most standard homeowners insurance policies provide $100,000 worth of liability coverage. However, due to the increasing number of personal liability lawsuits, its recommended that you purchase at least $250,000 to $500,000 worth of liability insurance coverage.
If you have property, investments, and savings that are worth more than the liability limits in your homeowners policy, you can purchase additional liability coverage in the form of an umbrella policy. This is a separate policy that pays after you use up the liability coverage in your homeowners policy. It also protects you against lawsuits not covered by your homeowners liability insurance such as libel, slander, and invasion of privacy.
Liability coverage is one of the most important types of insurance you can have. Without it, you could be sued and lose everything your own. With it, you’re assets are protected. Take an inventory of all your assets and purchase enough liability to cover them.

Who is your home owner’s insurance through?
I’m in the process of closing on a house and choosing an insurance company. I’m not going to go through the same people who I have renter’s insurance through (Cotton States). Our car insurance is up for renewal soon too and I may not stay with State Farm (they’re very expensive). So in other words, I’m not really tied to any particular insurance company.
Oh, and how much are your personal liability and medical payment (to others) amounts on your policy?
Just taking a poll. I’ve been getting quotes but still want to see what other people have. Thanks!
Mine’s with State Farm.
I shop it out every few years. State Farm is the most expensive – but they have more coverages (not higher amounts, but more causes of loss covered) than anyone else for me.
Liability and med pay is the CHEAPEST line of coverage on a homeowners. Normally, you can increase from $100,000/250 to $300,000/$2500 for about $15, or to $500,000/$5,000 for $30. That should be the LAST limit you compare.
What counts, are the bells and whistles that get added to your policy. The ones I think are most important, are 1. “all risk” coverage form 2. guaranteed replacement on building 3. replacement cost on contents 4. building ordinance or law coverage 5. backup of sewers & drains 6. scheduled personal property.
You probably need to talk to an agent to figure out which of these are most important to YOU.
