Murphy Insurance2025-06-27 08:00:002025-08-20 15:56:52Lightning Storm SafetyIf you live in a mobile home, you must protect yourself like any other homeowner against damage to your home, personal property, and liability. However, mobile homes differ from single-family homes. Therefore, policy options, eligibility criteria, premium costs, and coverage for unique aspects of mobile homes, such as transportability and materials used, differ from those of typical homeowners insurance.
Mobile Home Insurance is tailored for mobile or manufactured homes, offering coverage specific to their structure and risks.
Property Protection
Mobile home insurance protects you from various standard risks, often referred to as “perils,” resulting in damage or destruction of your home, adjacent structures, 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 being transported. If you decide to move your home, please contact us to purchase the necessary protection.
NOTE: A mobile home policy does not cover floods. You need a flood insurance policy to protect your property.
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 if 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, other compensation awards for injuries, and the costs of a liability lawsuit for a covered incident.
Determining Your Needs
Answering these questions can help you determine your insurance needs. If you need more details, a Murphy Insurance professional can assist you.
- When does my coverage need to start if my home is in transit?
- Should I consider whether my mobile home is eligible for replacement cost vs. actual value?
- How much will it cost to replace or repair the contents of my home?
- Do I need replacement value cost rather than cash value coverage protection for my personal property?
- Do I need flood insurance?
- How much protection should I have to cover liability and medical expenses for visitors who are injured on my property?
- Do I have valuable items that could exceed limits in my policy that I should “schedule,” such as jewelry, fine art, antiques, electronics, or other special items?
- Do I need extra protection to cover my home business contents and liability for meeting clients at my home?
- Do I want emergency removal protection in the event of an oncoming fire or other peril?
Special Discounts
Insurance companies provide discounts in certain qualified situations. Based on your information, your trusted professional works to maximize all discounts for which you are eligible. These may include discounts for:
- Burglary protection devices
- Smoke detectors
