What kinds of belongings does home insurance cover in case of theft?
I was the victim of a home robbery previously when I didn't have insurance. I don't want to experience that again. What items does insurance protect against theft?
Answer
Insurance protects many of your personal belongings against theft, such as:
- furniture
- clothing
- electronics
This protection falls under your personal property coverage on your homeowners policy.
Standard coverage is usually enough for many homeowners, but there are often limits as to how much can be paid out for certain belongings. You may want to consider buying additional coverage if you own high-value items, such as:
- jewelry
- artwork
- electronics
