Personal Liability Insurance: What Happens When Someone Gets Hurt on Your Property

If you’re a homeowner in Massachusetts, you know protecting your home is non-negotiable. But finding the right insurance policy? That can feel overwhelming. With dozens of carriers, coverage levels, and price points, how do you know which one is best?

In this short guide, we’ll walk you through how to shop smart—and how  Vargas & Vargas Insurance , your local independent insurance broker, can make the process easier than ever.

A standard Massachusetts homeowners insurance policy typically includes:

• Dwelling coverage  – protects your home’s structure
• Personal property  – covers belongings like furniture, electronics, and clothing
• Liability coverage  – protects you if someone is injured on your property
• Loss of use  – pays for living expenses if your home is uninhabitable, and loss of rental income if your home is a multi family

Keep in mind: factors like older home construction or proximity to the coast can affect your premium and coverage needs.

When collecting quotes, make sure each policy reflects the same:

• Dwelling limit
• Deductible (some insurance companies policies have an increased wind and hail deductible)
• Coverage types
• Optional endorsements  (like water backup, identity theft, or equipment breakdown)

Only then can you make a fair comparison.

Also, ask about  available discounts , such as:

• Bundling home and auto
• Protective devices (alarms, smoke detectors)
• Claim-free history
• Good credit
