Nationwide Insurance Home: Comprehensive Protection for Your Home

Homeowners need to protect their property and their investments, and Nationwide Insurance provides a range of insurance coverage to ensure that coverage is comprehensive. From liability and hazard insurance to personal property, Nationwide Insurance offers homeowners peace of mind.

Why Do You Need Homeowners Insurance?

As a homeowner, you have put a significant amount of money into your property, your personal belongings, and your investment. Homeowners insurance protects you from financial losses due to damage to your home or personal property, and protects against liability for accidents or injuries that occur on your property.

A standard homeowners insurance policy includes several types of coverage, such as:

Coverage
Description
Dwelling coverage
Covers damage to your home’s structure, such as walls and roof, due to covered perils like fire, windstorms, and hail.
Personal property coverage
Covers your personal property, such as furniture, clothing, and electronics, in case of theft, damage, or loss.
Liability coverage
Covers you against lawsuits brought by others who are injured on or by your property.
Additional living expenses coverage
Covers costs that arise when you are forced to leave your home due to damage or repairs necessary after a covered peril.

Dwelling Coverage

Dwelling coverage is the most important part of your homeowners insurance. This coverage provides protection for your home’s structure and any attached structures to the home, such as a garage or deck. It covers the cost of repairs or rebuilding should your home be damaged by a covered peril.

Some things you should consider when choosing a dwelling coverage limit:

  • The cost to rebuild your home if it is damaged or destroyed.
  • The cost of replacing any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the covered event.
  • The cost of temporary living expenses if you are unable to live in your home due to damage or destruction.

Your Nationwide Insurance agent will be able to help you determine the appropriate coverage for your dwelling, given your specific circumstances.

Personal Property Coverage

Personal property coverage provides protection against loss or damage to your personal belongings, such as furniture, electronics, and clothing. This protection applies both while your belongings are in your home and while you are traveling with them.

When choosing a personal property coverage limit, you should consider:

  • The value of your personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, and clothing.
  • The cost of replacing these items in the event of theft, fire, or other catastrophic events.

Many insurance companies offer additional coverage for specific types of personal property, such as jewelry or artwork. Be sure to talk to your insurance agent to find out how to get additional coverage for your important possessions.

Liability Coverage

Liability coverage provides financial protection in case someone sues you after an accident on your property. This coverage is important because it can help you avoid legal costs and pay for judgments and settlements against you.

Some things to consider when choosing liability coverage include:

  • The amount of coverage you need, based on your personal situation and the risks of accidents happening on your property.
  • Whether you need additional liability protection, such as an umbrella policy, to provide extra coverage in case of catastrophic accidents.

Your Nationwide Insurance agent can help you determine the appropriate liability coverage for your situation.
