Why Is Liability Insurance Important for Revere Homeowners?

Liability lawsuits can be extremely expensive. Sometimes, they can even cause so much financial harm that you could potentially lose your home. That is why homeowners insurance also provides you with personal liability insurance as a standard part of your coverage.

Homeowners liability insurance is designed to cover court costs, legal fees, and financial damages if you are sued for a covered event. Some examples of times your homeowners liability coverage may be of use include:

• If a guest in your home is badly injured in an accident that can be attributed to negligence on your part.
• If you accidentally cause injuries or property damage to someone while you are away from your home, such as while hitting the links at the Mt. Hood Municipal Golf Course.
• If someone in your household, including your children or your pets, causes injuries or property damage to someone else.
• If you are accused of libel or slander.

If you want to have more liability coverage than your home insurance will provide, you can supplement your policy with umbrella insurance. This is a highly affordable way to boost all of your liability coverage.
