However, if you have a mortgage on your home, your mortgage lender will almost certainly require that you have a homeowners insurance policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This requirement allows the lender to protect their investment. What\u2019s more, if you stop making payments on your homeowners insurance or drop your coverage altogether, mortgage lenders can take action against you to recover the amount that they loaned you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Law or no law, purchasing home insurance always makes a lot of sense. Even if your New York home is paid in full, you can be protected against potential damage to your property or belongings from events like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/home-fire-safety-tips\">fire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/does-home-insurance-cover-theft\">theft<\/a> and severe weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"home-resources-orange-border2\"><strong>New York Fast Facts<\/strong> <ul style=\"list-style-type: '\\2713';

Anyone who calls New York home knows that winter weather can be tough on a house, especially in upstate areas. Heavy snowfall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/does-homeowners-insurance-cover-ice-storms\">ice storms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/look-temp-drops\">freezing temperatures<\/a> can lead to hazards such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/prevent-frozen-pipes\">frozen pipes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/ice-dam-prevention\">ice dams<\/a>. As a result, homeowners insurance in New York can cost a little more than it does in other states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:20px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Does home insurance cover ice-related damage?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, a standard homeowners insurance policy will cover a loss if it cannot be prevented, or if it occurs suddenly and accidentally. For example, if a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/does-home-insurance-cover-tree-damage\">tree branch<\/a> weighted down by ice and snow suddenly falls and punctures a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/does-home-insurance-cover-roof-leaks\">hole in your roof<\/a>, the damage will most likely be covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example is if a guest injures themselves on your icy driveway. The personal liability part of your homeowners insurance could cover the cost of their medical bills and any lost wages, if you were responsible for the incident. Even if you weren\u2019t responsible, your medical payments insurance could cover costs related to their injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the dwelling coverage portion of your homeowners policy may cover the cost to repair damage caused by ice dams and frozen pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"53643\" class=\"elementor elementor-53643\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b223df elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b223df\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1eb605b\" data-id=\"1eb605b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deadc5b resource-slider elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"deadc5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:13000,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInRight\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-0f41a20 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">You May Be Covered If \u2026<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">You kept your heat on, but your pipes freeze and burst anyways.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-eb3115f swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">You May Be Covered If \u2026<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">A tree branch weighted down by heavy ice and snow snaps off and damages your roof.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-e319433 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><div class=\"elementor-slide-heading\">You May Be Covered If \u2026<\/div><div class=\"elementor-slide-description\">Your mail carrier slips on your icy walkway, injuring themselves.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:20px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>How does my deductible factor into my premium?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to lower your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/how-is-home-insurance-calculated\">homeowners insurance rate<\/a> is to raise your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/what-is-a-good-deductible-for-home-insurance\">deductible<\/a>.
