Insurance Update

Auto and home insurance are both common products in the insurance industry. Auto insurance is purchased to provide liability and personal protections for car-related events. Home insurance provides benefits to cover home and property related issues. These policies have some similarities in basic coverage concepts, but cover different products and situations.

Auto Insurance Basics

Auto insurance is legally required, in some form, in most state in the United States. Liability protection (often to include uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist) is what most states require.

This is protection for personal injury or damaged caused by the insured when at fault in an accident that harms a third party. Collision and comprehensive protection are commonly added to auto policies.

Collision and Comprehensive Benefits

Collision car insurance pays benefits when you are involved in an accident. It pays for personal injury or damage to your vehicle. Personal injury benefits typically include medical payments and other health care following the accident. Property damage is paid based on the cost for repairs from the accident.

Comprehensive car insurance pays benefits for many other common causes of vehicle damage not attributable to accidents. According to My Insurance Quotes, “theft, fire, vandalism, explosions, and natural disasters” are common events covered by comprehensive auto coverage.

Home Insurance Basics

Building home insurance provides for liability and home protection on your property. Lenders often require homeowners to purchase building home insurance that pays for replacement costs and damages to the property. Lenders invest in your property via a loan and want to be sure the property is preserved as collateral. Home policies also typically include liability and contents benefits.

More About Home Insurance

Liability protection on homes covers personal injury and property damage caused to other parties when on your premisis. This is important in the event of civil suits brought against you by someone who dies, is injured, or has property damaged on your property.

Contents insurance covers the value of valuables and personal belongings maintained in your home. This coverage pays benefits when items in your home or damaged through various events (like natural disasters), or stolen.

Premiums, Deductibles and Other Considerations

Premiums on auto insurance are paid based on types of coverage, level of benefits, risk factors of drivers, car safety features, and available safe driver discounts. Some people only buy required liability protection for older cars of less value to save money.

Home insurance premiums are based on coverage, total replacement cost for physical structures, value of contents, risk factors of the home (weather, crime, swimming pool, etc.) and safety features (like security alarms, smoke detectors, etc.).

Deductibles on auto and home policies are based on each type of coverage. By setting higher deductible amounts, your premium costs are lower. However, your out-of-pocket obligation would be more from a covered event. You can often save on home and auto policies by bundling these insurance policies through one provider.
