Alabama home insurance

Homeowners in Alabama face many challenges throughout the year. In the northern part of the state, tornadoes and strong storms with thunder, lightning, and hail can unexpectedly damage property. To the south, the Gulf Coast can be affected by hurricanes that develop in both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Liberty Mutual understands the needs of Alabama homeowners and offers customized homeowners insurance coverage to fit your specific situation.

The following insurance coverage comes standard with any homeowners policy:

• Personal property coverage
• Personal Liability and Medical Payment to Others
• Dwelling (Property damage to your home)
• Wind/hail²
• Hurricane damage²
• Additional Living Expenses/Loss of Rent

Note that most tornado damage is generally covered under these standard coverage policies.

The following insurance coverages are recommended for homeowners in Alabama:

• Flood insurance: Homeowners insurance generally does not cover damage caused by floods, including flash floods which can be an issue in Alabama during coastal storms and other seasonal rain events. Keep in mind that even if you are not in a flood zone, flooding frequently occurs outside of flood risk areas.

  Liberty Mutual offers flood insurance in partnership with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). While flood insurance needs to be purchased separately and is often optional, it may be required to secure a home loan if you live in a high-risk flood area.

• Personal property replacement cost: If your belongings are lost or damaged in a covered loss such as from theft or a fire, this coverage will cover the cost of brand-new replacement items.

The following optional homeowners insurance coverages should be considered by all homeowners in Alabama:

• Blanket Jewelry
• Escape of Water
• Personal Electronics Coverage
