Personal Insurance

What Does Personal Insurance Cover?

Personal insurance is designed to provide coverage for your investments, health, and lifestyle. Personal insurance will protect you from risks that can come through no fault of your own. Normally personal insurance steps in following your death, or it’s used to financially cover you during a time you cannot pay after an accident, death, or sudden loss. There are five basic types of personal insurance including:

• Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Disability Insurance
• Homeowners Insurance / Renters Insurance
• Liability Insurance
• Auto Insurance
• Boat insurance

Do I Have to Purchase Personal Insurance?

Not everyone will need to purchase personal insurance. Some employers do provide insurance coverage options, which can aid in helping employees with several personal insurance needs. However, failure to purchase personal insurance can leave you vulnerable to serious financial losses.

Auto insurance is normally required by the bank when you obtain an auto loan. Lenders need to protect their investment in you. By requiring insurance, it helps the bank from serious financial losses if you do get into a car accident. Homeowners insurance is another required insurance from a lender, as they need to protect their investment if you do end up defaulting on a loan, or the property becomes damaged.
