What does the HO Form 3 provide coverage for?

1. Liability coverage for personal injury

2. All-peril coverage for structures and named-peril for contents

3. Named-peril coverage for structures only

4. Comprehensive home coverage without exclusions

The correct answer is: All-peril coverage for structures and named-peril for contents

The HO Form 3, also known as the special form for homeowners insurance, provides all-peril coverage for the dwelling or structures, meaning it covers all types of risks unless specifically excluded in the policy. This is a significant benefit for homeowners as it offers robust protection against a wide range of potential threats to their property. For the contents within the home, the HO Form 3 typically covers named-peril situations, which means that the policy explicitly lists the events for which coverage is provided. This dual approach—broad protection for the structure and a more specific one for the contents—allows homeowners to manage their risks effectively, ensuring they are covered for most unexpected incidents regarding their home while being aware of the specific perils that affect their personal belongings. This blended coverage structure is advantageous to ensure that both the physical structure is fully protected against a variety of risks while maintaining a clear understanding of what personal property risks are covered, as these are laid out in the policy terms.
