Property Insurance

Property Insurance is insurance on real property for protection against most risks, hazards, and perils, such as fire, theft, and some storm and weather damage. Property insurance can also include specialized forms of insurance such as flood and earthquake insurance. Property is generally insured in the manner of open perils, which covers all causes of loss not specifically excluded in a policy, or named perils, which covers only causes of loss listed in a policy. Property can be valued through loss of use, replacement value, and market value methods. Commercial property insurance is often bundled with liability insurance, which protects your business assets if the business is sued for bodily injury or property damage.
