New York Homeowner's Insurance Can Help If Your Animal Hurts Someone

By:


Any of us that have homeowner's insurance recognizes the importance of having it. We know that we are protected in case of a fire or many other things that could happen. Often times we only think of using our homeowner's insurance in times of a large problem. Have you ever stopped to think that you could be covered with smaller incidents? Have you ever thought about the smaller day to day things that happen at your home could be covered by your insurance policy?
Think about this, you have a dog and it ends up biting a neighbor child. What would you do? Would you pay the medical bills? Would you try to get the neighbor to pay the medical bills? Would you just feel terrible and not have any idea what to do because you don't have any money to pay for the medical bills? This is an interesting thing to consider.

Did you know that if you live in New York that your New York home insurance policy can help you with this? That is an interesting thought. If one of your pets injures someone then you can call on your home insurance policy in New York (if you live in New York) and have them cover the expenses accrued from the injury.

Just like any other policy there are exclusions to consider. If you have a dangerous animal, such as a pit bull, the insurance company might exclude this coverage. There is the option to see if they will write in this coverage, but it could be an additional premium.

Dogs aren't the only animal covered, but this is a common one. When you contact your insurance company you will want to ask about the animals that you have and what coverage you have. You might think it is easier to keep this information from your insurance company, but when something does happen you will wish you would have disclosed this information. It is better to know up front what coverage you have and don't have.

It is important to check into your individual state coverage, but like New York home insurance policies give you some protection with animals it is good to know that your insurance policy isn't only limited to the large fires that you hope never happens to your home. It never hurts to ask questions and to be clear when you start out so there are no surprises either way.
