What's Covered under Property and Casualty Insurance?

Property and casualty insurance is the insurance you buy to protect your home, family, and business. Your auto insurance policy, your homeowners or renters insurance policy, your commercial general liability policy (if you're a business owner), coverage for your boat or small airplane, earthquake coverage, professional liability, workers compensation, and more all fall under the umbrella of property/casualty insurance. This type of insurance offers you protection from financial loss caused by damage to your personal and business property, as well as legal liabilities from property damage or personal injury for which you are responsible.

Insurance can confuse even the smartest consumer. The language on policies can get complicated (demystify it with our handy glossary), and without an insurance handbook or qualified agent, it can be challenging to set up the appropriate coverage for your needs. We can help. The CPCU Society is not only a critical resource for industry professionals, but it's also a place for consumers like you to get answers to your property and casualty insurance questions. We can even help you find an agent or broker in your region who is a respected, certified CPCU. Read more about why it’s so important to choose a CPCU.
