Property Coverage
Property insurance covers physical damage to your home, other detached structures or personal property. While no insurance policy covers everything, your policy should cover a wide range of possible damages or causes of loss. Foremost has homeowners and dwelling fire owner-occupied programs that cover losses differently.
- Comprehensive Coverage - Covers direct, sudden and accidental physical losses that aren't specifically excluded in your policy.
- Named Peril coverage - Covers the perils (causes of damage such as fire, wind, hail, etc.) which are specifically named in your policy.
Liability Coverage
Liability insurance covers you if you're found legally responsible for a covered injury or property damage to someone who doesn't live in your home. It compensates injured persons for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and property damage, and if the coverage applies, legal counsel is furnished if you're sued.
Optional Coverages
Foremost offers important optional coverages that let you customize your policy. Some coverages may be subject to company approval. These are a few of the most popular coverage options:
- Replacement Cost coverage on personal property
- Additional coverage for jewelry, watches and furs
- Business property and liability
- High liability limits
Settlement Methods
Your settlement method depends on which Foremost policy you choose and whether or not you purchase any optional endorsements.
- Actual Cash Value. An ACV settlement is the cost to replace or repair your damaged property, with a deduction to reflect the age and condition of the damaged property.
- Agreed Loss Settlement. An Agreed Loss settlement means that in the case of a covered total loss to the home, your settlement will be the Amount of Insurance listed on your Declarations Page, with no deductible on the coverage for your home, unless stated elsewhere in the policy.
- Replacement Cost. Our policy with Replacement Cost settlement reflects the cost to repair or replace damaged items with new items at today's prices.
- Extended Replacement Cost. For a covered loss, Extended Replacement Cost covers the cost to repair or replace your home when those costs exceed the amount of insurance stated in your policy, up to the limit stated in your policy.
