Liability Protection


Accidents can happen anywhere, even in the safest homes. If someone is injured on your property, or if you accidentally cause damage to someone else’s property, liability protection helps cover the legal and financial costs.

Many homes have structures beyond the main building that also need protection. Other structures coverage helps protect detached garages, sheds, fences, and other outbuildings on your property.

FAQ's

Straightforward Answers About Protecting Your Home

  • What does home insurance actually cover?

    A standard home insurance policy in Lake Norman usually includes coverage for your house (the structure itself), your belongings, liability if someone gets hurt on your property, and living expenses if your home becomes temporarily unlivable. We’ll help you sort through the details and make sure you’re covered where it counts.

  • Do I need home insurance if I’ve already paid off my house?

    Yes—while your mortgage lender may no longer require it, home insurance still protects you from major losses like fire, theft, weather damage, and liability claims. It’s peace of mind that’s well worth it.

  • How much home insurance do I need?

    It depends on your home’s value, where you live, and what you own. We’ll walk you through personal home insurance options that cover the rebuild cost of your home, plus your personal property and any extra features—like detached garages or waterfront access.

  • Do you offer home insurance for lakefront properties or new builds?

    Absolutely. We frequently help folks in Lake Norman, Cornelius, Mooresville, and Huntersville get the right coverage for lakeside homes and custom new construction. We’ll make sure your policy fits your unique property and lifestyle.

  • What’s not typically covered by home insurance?

    Standard home policies don’t cover things like flood damage, earthquakes, or wear & tear. But if you need that extra layer of protection, we can help add it on or guide you to the right specialty coverage.
