Homeowners Insurance
This package policy is for an owner. The policy-holder
owns and occupies a dwelling for himself and/or
the family's use. This policy contains coverage
in addition to the dwelling: for contents, additional
living expense, other structures, premise liability,
and medical payments. One can also insure valuable
items or collections for personal use such as
guns, coin collections, works of art, and other
specialty items.
Tenant Insurance
This coverage is similar to the above except one
is a tenant in an apartment or dwelling as opposed
to owning it. All other coverages follow a similar
scope as defined in homeowner insurance above.
Dwelling Fire Policy
This coverage protects the owner of a dwelling
that is usually occupied by another. This insurance
is usually concerned with coverage for property
only. Further, dwellings insured in this way may
also have liability and medical payments endorsed
for an additional premium.

specific physical items. Examples include jewelry,

for liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist
coverage, liability, comprehensive, collision,

Personal Umbrella Policy
This policy supplements the personal automobile,
homeowner, and other special policies containing
liability coverage. Usually this contract is sold
in increments of $1 million, providing coverage
in the event of a catastrophe where the underlying
policies' limits may be inadequate for the injuries
to others or property damages sustained. Sometimes
this policy is referred to as a Personal Catastrophe
Policy.
Health Insurance
This coverage is sometimes referred to as
medical or hospitalization insurance to pay for
sickness or injury. It may also refer to disability
income insurance, long-term care insurance, and
other special policies. Short-term medical is
also a special form when the insured is changing
employers.
Long-Term Care Insurance
This health coverage is designed to protect an individual’s assets from the cost of long-term medical care not covered by Medicare.

spouse, family members, and a wide variety of
beneficiaries, including non-profit organizations
such as churches. Sometimes this coverage is referred
to as term life insurance, whole life insurance,

Broadly, it includes a network system of risk
sharing with premiums of many paying the losses
of a few.
