What exactly is homeowner’s insurance? This type of insurance provides protection for your physical home (dwelling), the furniture and other contents (personal property) and, sometimes (if available) loss of use, in the event damage to your home requires that you stay in a motel for a while.

Part I began the breakdown of the auto policy, starting with the Declarations page and ending with the Liability coverages. The rest of the policy is set up pretty much the same.

You’ve heard the phrases first party and third party in relation to insurance, right? Do you know what they mean? Perhaps. But, for the sake of those who may not, let’s chat about it.
An insurance policy is a contract. A contract is comprised of several elements: a meeting of the minds, an offer, an acceptance and . . . → Read More: The Party of the First Part…Ugh!

Whatever type of insurance you obtain does not come free. Insurance coverage is provided by a company that takes on the risk of the value of what you are insuring. When you buy insurance, you become an insured with the company providing the risk (the insurer) and the contract that is created between you and the . . . → Read More: Insurance Premium – The Good, The Bad, The Why
