Home insurance is an important aspect of building or property protection. In residential insurance, the actual insurance coverage is an agreement between the insured and the insurance provider, which set out the specifics of the insurance policy in terms of claims that the insurance company is legally obligated to cover. In return for an initial down payment, called the initial premium, the insurance provider promises to pay for certain loss resulting from perils described in the insurance policy language. These claims are usually referred to as “peril” claims. Some insurance providers specify that specific losses may be excluded from the protection provided.
A home or other type of insurance policy provides coverage through two general sources: premiums and deductibles. Most policies will have deductibles, which is the amount you pay (otherwise known as deductibles) before the benefits kick in. Premiums are what the insured pays (also referred to as premiums). Both types of coverage may be mixed. For example, some health insurance policies have both premiums and deductibles, while others only cover the premiums. Homeowners can choose the best option for their particular situation.
Deductibles and premiums are generally the two most significant features of an insurance policy. The declarations page is where you will find the actual declarations page, which describes every policy detail. You should examine your declarations page very closely. Also, keep a close eye on any endorsements that are mentioned.
