Home Insurance

This is your primary residence building itself. Your Dwelling coverage encompasses your principal residence or mobile home and any attached structures and additions. These permanent fixtures and associated equipment are covered under this policy, provided they are not used for business or farming purposes.

To determine the qualifications of what is considered covered by your dwelling, please consult your insurer’s wording booklet.

Contents insurance would include clothing, electronics, furniture, etc.; it provides protection for these items while they’re on your property or temporarily removed (like when travelling).

Personal Valuables Coverage is a specific insurance amount designated for a high-value item such as jewellery, watches, art, bicycles, instruments, etc. Under this wording, there is a limit to the amount of insurance you can receive during a claim.

To be liable means simply that you are found to be legally responsible. If you are liable for injury to someone or found responsible for damage to another’s property, you can be sued for damages. No one likes to imagine being sued. But accidents happen, and if one does occur and you’re deemed negligent, you could find yourself with a hefty settlement. This type of insurance is essential because it helps protect you from financial losses that may occur due to a lawsuit.
