The best kept secret in home insurance Orange County is the liability insurance clause.

Most everyone understands buildings and contents insurance coverages. The dollar amount on the building is the value the insurance company will pay if the home is damaged or lost. The two dollar amounts offered are replacement cost and purchase cost. Policies with replacement value will cover the cost of any covered repairs at today’s prices while purchase value policies may only cover a percentage of the repairs especially on homes purchased 10 or 20 years ago. The dollar amounts for the homeowners’ personal property is usually a percentage of the house value and should be carefully analyzed. As standard values for furniture is preset and computers, jewelry, guns and collections may be limited to only 00 or 00 for each group, additional coverage may be required to replace these items in the event of theft or loss.
