Alabama Home Insurance Policies:
Homeowner insurance policies in Alabama vary based on the scope of covered losses, your selected coverages, and the type of residence you own. It's within your discretion to determine the insurance policy that aligns best with your needs—whether opting for a comprehensive policy covering losses like fire, hail, smoke, falling objects, vandalism, and theft of personal property, or selecting a policy that specifically addresses certain types of losses. The diversity in options empowers you to tailor your insurance coverage to suit your unique requirements and preferences.
Types of coverages
The four types of homeowners insurance coverage are:
- Structural — Covers damage to your home or dwelling.
- Personal Belongings — Covers damage to items in or on your home or dwelling.
- Liability Protection — Covers your legal responsibility for injuries or damage to other people or property.
- Additional Living Expenses — Covers costs for temporary housing, meals, etc., while your home is being restored or rebuilt.
Structural and Personal Belongings coverages are available on an actual cash value (ACV) basis or at full replacement cost. ACV coverage considers the current market value of an item based on its age and condition. So, if you purchased a television for $400 four years ago, the value today would be significantly less than it was when you purchased it. ACV coverage would depreciate the item's value to determine the current value. Full replacement cost considers the current cost to replace an item.
Your responsibilities
Make an inventory of your home and personal belongings. If possible, make a list as well as take photos or video - using two inventory methods can help expedite the claim resolution process. Keep this list somewhere other than your home. Keep in mind that your homeowner's insurance policy doesn't cover damages caused by poor or deferred maintenance on your part.
