Homeowners insurance in Nebraska protects your home from various disasters, including fire, lightning, wind damage, vandalism, and more. Coverage in Nebraska is similar to what's included in policies across the country. These are the four main coverages included in home insurance:
- Structural coverage: Your home's structure or dwelling is covered if it gets damaged or destroyed by a peril like fire, falling objects, vandalism, etc.
- Personal property coverage: Your personal property, like clothing, silverware, etc., is covered if it gets stolen, lost, damaged, or destroyed by a covered peril like theft, fire, etc.
- Personal liability coverage: Your personal liability and legal costs are covered if you get sued for claims of bodily injury or personal property damage by a third party.
- Additional living expenses coverage: Your additional living expenses if you have to stay somewhere else while your home is being repaired after a listed disaster are covered, including hotel rooms and more.
Since Nebraska can be prone to severe storms and flooding, you may also need to add flood insurance to your home insurance policy. Home insurance doesn't cover damage caused by natural flooding disasters, such as hurricanes, so you'll need additional flood coverage.
