What does coverage E mean in insurance?
The Coverage E—Personal Liability Coverage provisions provide coverage if a claim is made or a suit is brought against an insured because of bodily injury or property damage arising from a covered occurrence.
Personal liability coverage protects against things like medical bills and legal fees if someone happens to be injured on your property in the event you are found liable.
Similar to E, Coverage F takes care of medical expenses for anyone injured on your property. The key difference between the two coverages is that E covers you if you're at fault, but F will cover the injured person regardless of liability.
Insurance coverage refers to the amount of risk or liability that is covered for an individual or entity by way of insurance services. The most common types of insurance coverage include auto insurance, life insurance and homeowners insurance.
Coverage F, or “Medical Payments to Others” coverage is the component of your homeowners insurance policy which will help pay towards injuries sustained by someone who is not the insured, or a regular resident of the property.
It doesn't cover injury to you or anyone else living in the home, except residence employees. It doesn't cover property that you're borrowing or renting, unless the damage is caused by fire, explosion, water damage, or smoke (but not fireplace smoke). It doesn't cover damage you do while you're doing work on something.
Coverage E — Personal Liability
This section of the homeowners policy will provide coverage in the event you or a resident of your household are legally responsible for injury to others. Coverage E normally provides a defense and will pay damages, as the insurance company deems appropriate. There are some exceptions.
What is Coverage D? Coverage D, or what is often referred to as “loss of use” or “additional living expenses” coverage provides coverage for the additional living expenses incurred, as a result of your home being deemed uninhabitable due to damage sustained from a covered peril.
Coverage F in a homeowners insurance policy is medical payments to others coverage. It provides financial protection for medical expenses incurred by someone who is injured on your property, regardless of whether you are at fault.
The maximum policy limit for medical payments coverage is typically up to $5,000. While the lowest recommended maximum policy limit for personal liability coverage is about $100,000. The differences between coverage amounts are stark, therefore, the differences in coverage are also very noticeable.

Coverage A covers your dwelling; coverage B is for other structures; coverage C is for personal property; coverage D is for loss of use; coverage E is for personal liability and coverage F is for medical payments.
Coverage F (medical payments) under a homeowners policy would cover: A residence employee who is injured on the job. Residence employees are eligible for medical payments if the bodily injury arises in the course of employment, and if the employee is not covered by workers compensation.
The standard homeowners' insurance policy is divided into several component parts: Coverage A: Structure (the dwelling itself) Coverage B: Other structures (sheds and fences) Coverage C: Personal property (contents of the structures)
Admitting Fault, Even Partial Fault.
Avoid any language that could be construed as apologetic or blameful. Admitting any level of fault can eliminate or reduce the compensation that may be available.
Coverage B, also known as other structures insurance coverage, is the part of your homeowners policy that protects structures on your property not physically connected to your home, such as a detached garage, storage shed, or gazebo.
Coverage C protects all the insured's personal property, except for the following: Motor vehicles and their equipment. Cars have their own insurance policies, so home insurance excludes them. Coverage C usually does, however, insure ordinary home maintenance vehicles like lawnmowers or snowblowers.
Key Takeaways. Homeowners insurance policies generally cover destruction and damage to a residence's interior and exterior, the loss or theft of possessions, and personal liability for harm to others. Three basic levels of coverage exist: actual cash value, replacement cost, and extended replacement cost/value.
What is the appropriate amount of insurance that you should have on your house?
Your dwelling coverage should equal the replacement cost of your house, which is the amount of money it would take to build a replica of your home. At the bare minimum, you should definitely have replacement cost coverage (or RCV) for your home, which is what pretty much all standard policies offer anyway.
The most common type of homeowners insurance policy is the standard HO-3 Special Form policy. HO-5 policies offer the broadest coverage of all policy types. Open peril coverage means losses are covered unless specifically excluded, while named peril coverage means only named loss types are covered.
Cover living expenses if damages make your home uninhabitable (Coverage D). Pay for legal expenses if you are sued over someone's injuries or property damage (Coverage E or personal liability). Make medical payments if guests are injured on your property (Coverage F).
If you fail to purchase coverage or let it lapse, your company may send your mortgage into default. Alternatively, the lender could choose to buy a policy on your behalf. This is called force-placed insurance, and it is generally more expensive and provides less coverage than a policy you would purchase on your own.
Fair rental value coverage (Coverage D) is a type of coverage included in most landlord and homeowners insurance policies. If you're unable to rent out your property because of a covered loss, this coverage replaces the rent payments you're not able to collect due to the inconvenience.
