Homeowners Insurance
Definition:
Lenders often require homeowners to purchase homeowners insurance, or hazard
insurance, before completing their mortgage loan. Homeowners insurance
covers damages caused by fire, smoke, hail, wind, vandalism, or other events.
Homeowners insurance covers the house and its furnishings, personal items,
structures on the property such as garages and pool houses. Homeowners insurance
may also cover personal liability such as if someone gets injured on your
property.
Consequences of Homeowners Insurance:
There are instances where a homeowners insurance claim made by a policyholder is valid but an insurance company denies the claim. Insurance companies could:
- Use delay and stalling tactics to make policyholders accept a small settlement
- Creating impossible conditions such as asking for unreasonable documentation or verification
- Wasting a policyholder's time by requiring them to resubmit existing information
- Charging multiple quotes
- Making promises without following through with them
- Tricking policyholders by changing the terms of the policy and giving false adjustments
