At Phil Klein Insurance Group, we help our clients protect their homes and property so that they and their loved ones can live their lives knowing that if something were to happen, they would be protected. Anyone owning a home in West Bloomfield, MI can purchase a policy that protects against losses caused by events like fire or theft. But many people worry about what would happen if an accident were to occur on their property, and what the consequences to them would be.
Fortunately, most home insurance policies also protect against basic liability. For instance, someone could come to your home and slip on ice that you had failed to remove from the front walk. They could sue you for the injuries, including the medical bills they had to pay because of the accident. If you didn’t have insurance, you would have to pay for the medical bills, any property that was damaged, and the court costs associated with the lawsuit.
The general liability policy that is a part of your homeowner’s insurance policy will pay those damages as part of a claim. The policy even covers the court costs, including possible attorney costs. The main problem is that if the expenses are significant, they will probably not be covered because your policy will have a general liability limit. If you are worried about the limit, you can discuss it with your agent. You may want to raise your policy limits or get an umbrella policy that covers more significant losses.
If you have a home in West Bloomfield, MI, make sure you’re protected. Contact Phil Klein Insurance Group today so we can discuss your options.
