Spring Storm Season in North Carolina: Are Your Home and Auto Policies Ready?

In North Carolina, spring storms may bring conditions that can damage homes and vehicles. Reviewing your home and auto insurance ahead of storm season can help you understand what may be covered before a loss occurs.

Steps to Prepare Your Insurance Policies

Many people only discover gaps in their coverage after a storm, when it may be too late to make changes. Taking time now to review and update your policies can help if you need to file a claim. Consider these steps:

• Review your coverage limits: Make sure your home insurance covers the current value of your home and belongings. For auto insurance, verify that your comprehensive coverage is active, as it typically covers storm damage such as hail or falling branches.
• Understand your deductibles: Know what you may need to pay out of pocket if you file a claim. Some policies may have separate wind or hail deductibles.
• Consider flood insurance: Standard home insurance policies usually do not cover flood damage. If you live in a flood-prone area, ask about adding flood insurance.
• Update your inventory: Keep an up-to-date list of your home’s contents, including photos or receipts. This can help speed up the claims process after a loss.
• Check for additional coverage: Ask about endorsements or riders that may offer extra support for valuables or specific risks in your area.
