Mobile Home Insurance

If you live in a mobile home, you need to protect yourself like any other homeowner against damage to your home, personal property and liability. Mobile homes are different from a single-family home and have different coverage considerations.

property protection

Mobile home insurance protects you from a variety of standard risks often referred to as “perils” that result in damage or destruction of your home, adjacent structures on your property and personal property. It provides for repair or replacement caused by:

Fire – including damage from smoke and water used to put out a fire
Weather - lightning, windstorms, hailstorms, tornadoes
Equipment failure – damage from bursting of heating, plumbing or hot water systems
Electrical surge damage
Explosions
Glass breakage
Falling trees and objects
Collapse of roof or walls
Damage by vehicles
Theft or burglary
Vandalism and malicious mischief

Your mobile home policy does not cover your home while it’s being transported. If you decide to move your home, contact us to purchase the necessary protection.

NOTE: Floods are not covered by a mobile home policy. To protect your property, you need a flood insurance policy.

liability protection

We live in a litigious society where lawsuits are common. What happens if a neighbor slips and falls on your steps breaking a leg and hitting his head? Your mobile home policy protects you in the event that you’re found responsible for unintentional injuries to another person or damage to property. This coverage applies whether the accident occurred on your property or elsewhere. This protection applies to all family members living in your household. Liability protection covers medical expenses and other compensation awards for injuries, and costs of a liability lawsuit for a covered incident.
