What type of coverage is included in Homeowners policies, but is not available in Dwelling Policies?

• A. Liability Coverage
• B. Collision Coverage
• C. Comprehensive Coverage
• D. Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that Homeowners policies come with liability protection for injuries or damages you (or your family) may cause to other people, and to their property. That liability coverage is built in to a Homeowners policy, and it provides legal defense and settlements if you’re found responsible. Dwelling policies, on the other hand, are designed to cover the dwelling and its structures (and sometimes personal property), but they do not include that liability protection by default. So, the coverage type that’s included with Homeowners but not with Dwelling policies is liability coverage. The other options relate to auto coverages—Collision and Comprehensive (and Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist)—which are not standard parts of either homeowners or dwelling policies, since they pertain to vehicles rather than property liability.
