This may include a wide range of risks, including personal injury, natural disasters, crime, and much more.
Without home insurance, you will not be covered for possessions lost in a fire or burglary. If someone is injured on your property, you may be responsible for paying the medical bills. These scenarios are just a few examples of why you need personal property insurance.
