- Dwelling - Protects your house, detached garage and storage sheds from fire, hail, windstorm, vandalism.
- Contents - Protects furniture, clothing, and other personal belongings.
- Additional Living Expenses - Pays for extra expenses you have for lodging, food, and other items if disaster forces you from your home.
- Liability - Protects you when you or one of your family unintentionally injures someone or damages their property.
