You owe it to yourself to review and understand homeowner insurance policy exclusions, inclusions and limits of insurance policy coverages on the insurance blog.


A central Florida couple's home, a total loss after a lightning-induced fire, may not be covered by homeowner's insurance. The family's insurance, covering a home worth $2M, and personal effects inside the home for another $2M, had recently lapsed, according to WKMG Local 6 news.

Paying on time and ahead of time (if you can swing it) is the only surefire way to have property insurance when you'll need it the most.

That way, there won't be any surprises if the worst happens to you.
