Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage?
Standard homeowners policies typically exclude flood damage. Coverage applies only to rain entering through the roof or walls, not water seeping through foundations.
What defines an employee vs independent contractor?
Vermont law considers workers employees if you control their daily tasks, they perform core business functions, receive hourly pay, or use your tools and equipment.
Are minimum insurance limits sufficient?
State minimums often provide inadequate protection. Consider asset value, lawsuit potential, and increasing vehicle replacement costs when determining appropriate coverage limits.
Do renters need insurance?
Yes. Landlord policies don't cover tenant belongings or liability. Renters insurance protects personal property and provides liability coverage for accidents occurring in the rental unit.
What is an umbrella policy?
Umbrella policies provide excess liability coverage beyond underlying auto or homeowners policies. They offer additional protection for significant assets, typically starting at $1 million in coverage.
Can I run a home business with standard insurance?
Some incidental home businesses may qualify for coverage through policy endorsements. Always inform your agent to ensure proper policy modifications for business activities.
