Six inches of rising water or seepage rising in from the outside can cause catastrophic damage. At Brightway Insurance we encourage all our clients to consider flood insurance. Typically flood insurance is inexpensive and provides great peace of mind.

The Homeowner's Policy:

The homeowner's policy package is actually made up of two policies, on protecting the structure (dwelling) and the personal property, etc., from specific and certain general hazards (specific named perils). This is the "first party" coverage.

The second part within the policy is the liability coverage portion that protects the homeowner and certain others from personal liability against claims for damages caused by the insured. This is known as "third party" coverage.

The declaration page will set for the named insured, the property location, effective dates, coverage limits, liability coverage amounts and deductibles that apply.

Coverage A: covers the dwelling itself, any structures attached to the dwelling.

Coverage B: is for other structures on the property that are appurtenant to the dwelling, an example may be a shed, fence or satellite dish.

Coverage C: Personal property is for the items you bring on the property like furniture, clothing and televisions. The types of losses that are protected against for personal property include such things as fire, lightning, wind, hail, explosion, riot / civil commotion, smoke, vandalism, theft, falling objects, weight of ice, snow or sleet (not really a Florida issue), discharge or overflow of water or steam systems (hot water heaters, air conditioning units), freezing, glass breakage, and damages caused by aircraft, by vehicles, or artificially generated electrical current.

Coverage D: Loss of use is when your home is uninhabitable due to a covered loss. The insurer will pay your additional living expenses occurred until you can move back in to your dwelling. Typically in Florida today the insurance companies will limit this to one year or until the amount of protection runs out.

Coverage E: The personal liability section is for the named insured and any resident relatives. This section will be for bodily injury and property damage, to which the coverage applies, if a claim or lawsuit is brought against anyone qualifying as an insured under the policy. It will also pay for a defense of the claim or lawsuit, and will provide the insurer the right (but generally not the obligation) to investigate any such claim or lawsuit. The personal liability section also pays for the first aid expenses incurred by the insured in providing necessary emergency treatment for bodily injury covered by the policy.

Coverage F: includes medical payments coverage providing payments regardless of legal fault for needed medical expenses to anyone (other than the insured) who is injured on the premises, for an injury caused by the activities of an insured, a residence employee, or an animal owned by the insured. Many insurance companies today in Florida will either exclude animal liability all together or limit the amount of coverage. The insured must disclose the breed of dog in their possession at the time of executing their agreement. There is a list of approximately a dozen dogs that could prevent you from purchasing insurance from most insurance carriers.

Deductibles: Typically the deductible for perils is $500, 1000, or 2500. There is no deductible for liability or medical payment coverage. In Florida, there is a separate deductible for hurricanes from $500 to 10% of the dwelling coverage A.

Remember that a Homeowners Insurance policy is a type of insurance policy that combines property insurance on the dwelling and contents with casualty insurance to protect the owner and / or occupier from personal liability.

Personal Umbrella Policy: Excess Liability

On occasion, the limits of liability provided in one or more underlying liability policies might be insufficient to cover the damages that an insured incurs. Therefore, there exists the opportunity to purchase additional coverage that is layered above the coverage provided in these underlying policies. This additional coverage is known as excess insurance. Since they may also cover a number of separate underlying policies written for the insured, they are at times referred to as umbrella policies, providing protection over a group of policies.

Excess coverage may be written on a personal basis. A personal excess policy would be written to protect an individual or family, and might provide coverage over the liability sections in a Homeowner's policy, and/or the Personal Automobile policy.

In some cases, there will be more than one excess policy written, with each policy providing coverage above a certain level so that multiple excess policies will be layered, one on top of the other, to provide ever-increasing levels of coverage.

In most cases, the excess coverage is written as a following form contract. That is to say, although the excess policies themselves will have certain terms and conditions, exclusions, etc., they will basically conform to the coverage provided in the underlying policy that they are protecting.

A major difference between the primary coverage and the excess form is that in excess policies, there is generally no requirement to provide a defense for the policyholder in the event of a lawsuit being filed against any insured. This defense obligation is most often the responsibility of the underlying primary policy.

The excess policy may come into effect for some defense responsibility in the event the limits of the underlying policy have been exhausted, or in the rare case where the underlying policy may be able to withdraw from defense due to exclusionary wording, etc.

We at Brightway Fleming Island refer to Umbrella Policies as "asset protectors". If an insured has assets, we hope they will take our advice to consider an Umbrella Policy. Here at Brightway Fleming Island we represent multiple Umbrella insurance carriers. Policies can start as low as $150 for a one million-dollar policy. This is true peace of mind coverage. You work all your life and accumulate wealth. You wouldn't want one freak accident wipe out a life's savings.

Renter's/Tenant's Policy

Not everyone owns a home. People reside in various types of places that are owned by others and rented or leased to them. Most are apartment, although certainly the owners of houses and condominiums can, and do, rent or lease to other people as well.
